Deep Lobe Parotid Tumor Surgery for Young Mother at Osborne Head & Neck Institute

Pany is a young mother of two from London. After discovering a small lump behind her ear, Pany is told by doctors that it was only a cyst and that the lump would eventually go away. When the MRI results came back, Pany discovers that she has a deep lobe parotid tumor. After doing a lot of research, she seeks the help of Dr. Ryan Osborne and Dr. Jason Hamilton. It is up to Dr. Osborne to safely remove the tumor and Dr. Hamilton to reconstruct Pany's face by leaving no physical scar to remember the surgery.
