The photo above is what I encountered when I got home from the hospital 3 days after my surgery.  This is what the surgeon described as a "small incision".  The photo below was taken a couple weeks later when Rob blew through town on a brief visit.  The incision is clearly still visible but not looking quite so gruesome.  Amazingly enough, it is now almost invisible.  I still have large areas under my jaw on the right side with no sensation so shaving is still pretty weird.
