I had SARPE 3 years ago and BSSO 6 months ago, I don't have any

nerve damage at all. I think nerve damage needs to be better

defined. Sometimes people think it means " muscle damage " where your

face and mouth would droop as after a stroke. This is not the

case. Nerve damage usually refers to a loss of sensation or more

commonly " altered sensation " . I had altered sensation for several

weeks after the surgery. I could feel my lips and chin but not

fully, it felt odd and tingly. It did not affect my speech or show

up in my face at all. Now it is completely gone. Talk to your OS

about what exacly nerve damage entails.

I dunno if this will sing as sweet a song, but I had lower

advancement, bilateral bsso, and had no numbness ever, and no nerve

damage at all, either. Mercifully, my ortho was able to widen and

balance my upper arch enough to serve me well, so no trouble there,

either.

Cammie

Hope you will experience the same.

That sounds like a high number to me, but then I'm not a surgeon,

nor a nurse, working with patients in this procedure. And I didn't

have it, either.
