ELna,

I am not defending his technique as I was not there to see the surgery. I've never witnessed this closure technique unless the situation warranted it. I have seen, too many times, botched up closures :/ Even simple ones. So I unfortunately know that does happen :/

Here is another link that explains the buccal fat pad that is used for the closure. It also gives photos... warning, they are explicit.

He had no idea of the consequences he would be causing. There is a reason he left. It wasn't an extreme hole or anything else going on he clearly chose an unnecessary procedure. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I also wish everyone was like you but they are not Bryanna. There might not be a good, noble reason behind his actions. He simply might not be good. Thank you again, for everything.
