Brief Answer:
please go ahead with Doctor XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

In my view, you should go ahead with Doctor Kelly's appointment, the head of plastic surgery there.

Since you have undergone 5 major surgeries, there might be a possibility of change in anatomy of the facial structures. The plastic surgeon can confirm the same on detailed physical examination of your face and the mouth.

Hope this helps.
