pain in half of my face...

[Guest guest]

well i noticed this afternoon that on the left side of my face...the

swelling is almost completely gone (8 days post-op...upper, lower,

genio) and i have absolutely not pain at all on the left side. but

the right side is a totally different story. not only is it swollen

probably 3 times more than the left side...but it is still painful.

the pain is mostly in my upper jaw...and around the joint...which

feels tight as well. and it extends around to the back of my head.

i also have slight pressure in my right ear. so i'm wondering why

the left side is doing so much better than the right side. seems

kinda weird to me.

I had a similar thing happen to me. I had a ton of swelling on my

right and a lot of joint pain on the right as well. The reason for

mine was: Each side reacts different. I had a lot more bleeding on my

right side and there wasn't necesarily a reason why because nothing

went wrong with that side. I'm sure your doctor has notes from the

surgery. Something like that would be in his notes, so I would ask. I

also still have slight bruising still (7 weeks post op) on the right

side of my face.

I also had a rougher time with the right side of my face. I think

theres a lot of us on here who've experienced the same thing.

Maybe the surgeons do more work from that side?

Anyone know?
