@sloaniesheena: I am profoundly grateful for your extraordinary skill and compassionate care. Dr. Kongkrit Chaiyasate performed an excision of the ankylosis (removal of bony fusion between lower jaw and skull) and placement of craniofacial distraction to stretch the muscles and soft tissue. Your brilliance, empathy, and dedication make an overwhelming journey so much lighter! Looking forward to stage 2 in august! Stay tuned… @Kongkrit Chaiyasate, MD,FACS #reconstructivesurgery #craniofacialsurgery #plasticsurgery #microsurgery
