Re: Genioplasty - Tightness

May 21, 2002

hey...

my tightness started loosening @ 10-11 weeks post-op

and still have a wee tingly thing happening in the

lower left lip/chin area....

tho? i still feel the sensation of having to push my

face back to center point if i ever happen to lay on

my side during my sleep <something i sooo try not to

do as the sensation feels a bit monster-ish...like?

clicking ur face back on!!!!LOLOL>...didn't find any

exercises tho i was intent on taking two fingers on

each side of the insides of my cheeks and stretching

my mouth for as big as i could...<like those cheek

expanders they use on u during surgery and for pics?>

and that felt good.

good luck ken and watch the faces u make in public!

oh yah...something else that happened in the 10-11

week range was another change in looks in my chin area

during this time...i seemed to have gained all these

dips and curves that make it pretty...that may have

been why it started feeling tight for a

bit...hmmmmm....
