I had been told that replacements weren't done routinely too, and like you, that was years ago. Now things have changed enormously.

I had a lot of scar tissue too, and they just cut it out. It made the surgery longer, but they were able to do it.

I am really honored that you want to use my puffin picture! Please feel free to do so. And I would love to see how your puffin turns out!
