Checked with my consultant and he said the mask will be fine. Will get one and let you know what it is like for future members having grafts.

I didnt like the shield found it unconfortable! however after 2 weeks found it
much better and it has to fit well over the eye!
a mask may move more?? use plenty of tape! and there are diffrent types
of micro type around some softer than others!
I found wilkinsons the best, rather than boots??!!

good luck

i found that the micropore left a gluey residue on my face- and since i wore it at night for about 2 months, i had to find a way to get the glue off every morning otherwise i would have lumps of make-up in certain stripes on my face..... talcum powder seemed to solidify it so that it could be peeled off more easily...
----use it... don't use it...

How are things now Melissa, are you officially out of the post op recovery ? I think you said in a post that your wearing glasses now, not sue though, how are your getting on, always mean to ask but never get round to it !
