@pfairb01, I'm tagging @hrhwilliam on this discussion. He had a similar surgery for reconstruction after head and neck cancer. It was not the transfer of muscle from the leg, but rather bone from the fibula. You can read more about his experience and others in this discussion:

Pfair01, if I'm understanding correctly, you are having what is called muscle transposition for facial reanimation surgery. Have I got that right? When will you have the surgery?
