Again, thanks for the information. It’s interesting. Having it done under local anesthesia is better. What type of doctor is doing it?I’m wondering how patients take pills after. Place on the tongue & use a squirt bottle or put cup just to the upper lip? I have a few pills I need to take daily.
I think you will have good results with following the post-op process. You will get through it and prevent cancer. Sending positive energy your way. 😊
Thanks for the good wishes for my trip.

Hi Marsha -
To answer your question: the doc is a dermatologist, and good question about the post-procedure meds. I bought Boost, bone broths, fruit juices, etc. to sip through a straw. Might have to crush the pills and mix with liquid. Oh, and face masks. Might need a few of them. Don't want to scare the neighbors! :-))
Cheers,
Lynne
