Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I am 3 weeks post op and when i smile my left cheek feels like it is sticking to my gums. I looked at it in the mirror and it's not stuck to anything. Do you think it is just the muscle acting funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I do think it is the muscle acting funny. I had the same feeling. I am smiling broader each day, but because there is more swelling on one side of my face, my smile is lopsided and does not go back as far as the other side. it feels like it is stuck! I think it is just the numbing, swelling, soft tissue repairing that is causing this. i used to think it was stitches, but don't anymore. i am working on " being normal " with my mouth as much as possible. Smile on! katie > I am 3 weeks post op and when i smile my left cheek feels like it is > sticking to my gums. I looked at it in the mirror and it's not > stuck to anything.
