Well for me my lower lip is still numb at 10 days after surgery and

I probably won't get that feeling back for some time according to

the OS as it's still early. My kissing right now is limited to

pecks. I have a soft food diet for another two weeks and then on to

more chewing. As time passes the jaw should have a fuller range of

motion allowing kissing.

Also because I had upper and lower my stiches meet right under the

nose and so that will be a bit tender for awhile as well.

Keep in mind that we all heal differently, but I'm close to 3 months and

still, my lower lip isn't feeling as before. Although the stiffiness in both

upper and lower lips has gone for the greater part (+90%), kissing isn't

as before.

But very pleasurable, still

As for opening, I'm probably an exception. I had a super great opening

of 57mm (it's usually around 50-55mm), but still, I managed to loose only

10mm (now opening at 47mm), despite the fact that there was a big

possibility of loosing more than that, given the unnatural condition my

jaws were in prior to the surgery.

I had my first super big hot-dog today... **whitout** squeezing it to fit in

my mouth.. !! Even my best friend was doubtful I would be able to have it.

I saved the honour of the Orthognatic Patients! :-)

Not a weird question at all. Reliable reports say that kissing and

other fun things are just fine, unless they exploit anybody in any

way. How much, and just how, probably depends on your physical

limitations. Maybe don't get too frisky, and you may find some

altered sensations (depending on your numbness and swelling -- give

your body a break --OOPS! Bad choice of phrase there!) Just take it

easy and do whatever you and your partner enjoy.

But ask your surgeon, too. There's not a question on earth that he or

she has not heard many times before, and I would wager that this one

is one of the more frequent. Also about being in braces, which never

stopped a kiss that I've heard about.
