Post Revision Sequential Pictures and Healing
During the post revision period, the surgical sites will likely heal relatively quickly. This is due in part to the environment of the mouth that is extremely favorable to the healing process. The images below outline the healing process seen in a particular patient. The images below may not mirror every infant's healing process and this is because each wound will vary in size and each infant will heal at varied rates.
