Nikki's wasting no time in moving forward with her next surgery. On March 11th, Nikki will return to The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center for another plastics procedure. This time, she'll be undergoing a procedure to fill in around her right eye. The accident burned away a lot of skin and underlying tissue in this area, making the eye socket look sunken and drawn. The surgeon will use liposuction to withdraw fatty tissue from elsewhere on Nikki's body & inject it all around the the right eye. The goal is to make the right eye as equal to the left as possible. At the same time, Nikki will get a new right eyebrow- the accident burned off that brow, along with most of her forehead. The doctor doesn't know yet what procedure he will use- a scalp transplant, or plugs. The transplant is simpler to do, as long as the conditions are right for it. Nikki is very excited for this one!
Future procedure will almost certainly involve more work around her neck. The surgeons have made great strides in improving looks and functionality here, but there's still more to be done. Stay tuned for updates!
