Comedian Yannick De Martino has canceled his participation in the Festival d’humour emergent en Abitibi-Témiscamingue on 1er July, because he is recovering from jaw surgery.
It was the comedian who made the announcement, in the last few days, on the Facebook page of the Festival d’humour emergent en Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
The operation he underwent on 1er last May is called bimaxillary osteotomy. It aims to correct the position or size of the jaws. Yannick De Martino clarified on Facebook that this problem, which he had dragged on “for a long time”, was starting to cause him trouble and pain.
“The operation basically consists of breaking your ‘mouth’ to adjust it in the most optimal way possible and then fixing it in the new position with plates that you drill through your face. By the waythe surgeons do not talk about it like that in pre-operation… Otherwise I might have, how to say, let it happen, ”writes the comedian.
He explains that after a rather painful first month, where he had to deal with a swollen face, he has now started talking and eating again. That said, the medical team must replace a screw that has moved, he said. “They will take away my bot face on August 30th and it is only on this day that I will know if they should change the entire plate under general anesthesia or only screw it under local anesthesia. »
According to Yannick De Martino’s manager, Jeff Bathurst, quoted in The Journal of Montreal, the comedian intends to participate as planned in the ComediHa! Fest-Québec, in August.
