Necrotizing Skin Under His Chin After Molar Extraction
Not sure if this set was posted already or not.  Initial presentation demonstrating necrosis of skin in submandibular region. This means that a piece of dead tissue was present after a routine third molar extraction, and the body tried to fight it off, which lead to Necrotizing Faciitis (aka Flesh-Eating Disease).  Initial removal of the damaged tissues, demonstrating necrotic superficial fascia, subcutaneous tissues, and thrombosed superficial veins.  After serial debridements, vacuum assisted dressing placement, and aggressive medical management—wound bed is ready for skin grafting.  The patient was discharged home on hospital day 26. He has ongoing physical therapy for the contraction of the grafted areas of his neck and chest. This picture was taken 6 months post-operative. Further reconstruction is planned. |

Re: Necrotizing Skin Under His Chin After Molar Extraction
But that graft is incredible. He might have scars but he has really healed well compared to some of those poor fuckers we see on here. I hope they kept him in a medically induced coma whilst it all went on, though. To be awake would have been unbearable, pain-wise and emotionally.
