With cancer in my right parotid gland and facial...

With cancer in my right parotid gland and facial nerves, I needed 3 surgeons: an ENT, an otolaryngologist, and plastic surgeon Dr. Lin. Dr. Lin masterfully re-constructed the right side of my face and head, importing a leg nerve to replace the diseased facial nerves and grafting nerve XII to VII, enabling me to speak and eat and have some mobility in my face for smiling and closing my right eyelid. Cosmetically the 14 inch branched scar is invisible. Internally Dr. Lin created a facial nerve network that is amazing, functional, and greatly appreciated. An excellent Facial Physical Therapist helped me activate and train that network so that my facial appearance and movements seem normal.

Dr. Lin is very skilled and personable, creating a comfortable and relaxed relationship that inspires my trust and confidence. I feel respected in his care, and that he values his ability to enable a high quality of life for his patients. His expertise, clarity, and authentic empathy have helped me understand the complicated procedure he performed, and to feel his expert-professional and genuine-personal support before and during the surgery, as well as afterwards as I recovered and progress.
