Another step forward, one step back...
The reconstructive surgeon, in addition to filling in my cheek with soft tissue harvested from my back left shoulder, he took a strip (scrap) of soft tissue that he anchored under my chin in order to level its crookedness -- a procedure that never made sense. Every surgery creates 'more' scar tissue & the end result? My mouth was pulled further north and I have not be able to fully close the left side of my mouth since.
