Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'm having double jaw surgery in a week (top jaw brought forward slightly, bottom jaw slightly to the right, very nervous) and my surgeon informed me that during the operation a nerve in the bottom jaw will be exposed, and sometimes this leads to permanent numbness. Has this happened to anyone? Just wondering how common this is. Also, is putting ice on the jaw the best way to decrease the swelling? Any other tips?
