Does anybody know what the plastic cage like appliance is (glued?) to the uppermost part of my cheeks could be?
Surgery was SEP 1 2022.
It is disintegrating, coming apart, but still glued.
Thanks

Not exactly. I had dissolvable stitches and they gradually fell apart along with the big scab where the wound healed

No idea what the cage like things is unless it’s something to hold your cheeks together while the wound heals. 🤷‍♂️ Mine felt like a rope back there until the scab gradually fell apart.
