My tumor was about the size of a plum. It was removed under general anasthesia in an ambulatory o/r. I went home 5 hours after surgery with a drain. I returned to see my doctor the next day for the staples and drain to be removed. It has been 11 days since my procedure and I have only taken 2 regular strength tylonol on one occasion. I am experiencing facial skin numbness by the incision and hope it will return. I have no facial paralysis (thank god) and my tumor is benign. My ear is also numb.
