(7 day post-op) Tingling feeling in the lips/chin

[Guest guest]

I have been getting a lot of tingling/weird feeling in my lips & chin

from last few days. My lips starts hurting if I go out when the wind

hits it. I am california & its not so cold either but I have lost 1

or 2 layers of skin on my lips during/after surgery. Are your lips in

bad shape too inside-out? I am using the lip balm/vaseline. Is there

any thing else I can apply to help the recovery of my lips?

Also on my chin I get this funny feeling. Couple of days back I used

to confuse it with pain but now I kinda like it. I am not taking that

many pain killers now-a-days.

Hope everyone else is going fine...

Hi i had this also. However I am in England - not so warm as

California!! I tried different types of lip balms & creams but found

my lips became swollen & tender & peeled. I found that a petroleum

based cream (think it was like vaseline) the hospital gave me was

the best thing. A nurse told me that the lips are quite sensitive at

1st & to use the cream she gave me. I was fine after a couple of

weeks. The pain/sensation in your chin is probably just the feeling

coming back. It is strange but you will get used to it.

Dunno of anything for the chin.

For the lips: Aquaphor or vitamin E oil...

It will get better. Honest.

I do have to say that i am more annoyed with the numbness tingling

than i thought i would be. To me it is more irritating, facially

irritating than anything else. i can't describe it as a " hurt " but

one of the greatest annoyances i have experienced. it is deep. i am

aware of it at every second.

It will pass, rest assured. As soon as you return to your normal

routine, you'll start to notice it less and less. And your body will

adapt to the feeling. I still have a lot of numbness and the only

time I notice it is when I shave in the morning now. The rest of

the day, it's like business as usual.
