How long before hard palate donor site will heal?

February 15, 2016
Asked By:Ursulane in Memphis, Tennessee

Four weeks ago, I had bilateral ectropion repair. This surgery was performed via mid-face lift, temporal lift, hard palate graft and canthoplasty. My palate still has two rather large places that have not closed. My teeth are terribly sore and both my palate and tongue burn continuously. It was my understanding that the donor site usually heal within two weeks. Has this been your experience?
