Today, after ingesting one too many drinks, my mother provoked our beagle Rusty to bite her. The bite was pretty severe, tearing a good portion of her upper lip away. After going to the ER, they informed us that I need to speak with a plastic surgeon tomorrow (tuesday) to schedule a reconstructive surgery to her upper lip. I know such surgery is costly, but I really don't know what it entails? Could someone give me an idea what to expect in surgery, cost, and recovery?
