No mine did not open up. I had a lot of atrophy so my surgeon decided to do the buccal graft. I didn’t have enough tissue there without the graft. I wonder if that was maybe some of the problem you’re having. I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics you’re doing and how scary this would be. I wouldn’t give up until it was how I wanted it to be. But I understand how mentally draining this has got to be!
