Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I had no numbness but did have a some tingling on one side of my chin. That lasted about 3 weeks and then returned to normal. I'm very grateful I had no numbness... lord knows the last thing I need is something ELSE to complain about. I would assume that tingling is a sign that nerves were not permanantly damaged... just a little " confused " ... I would imagine that feeling nothing is a lot scarier... of course, that's just an assumption- based on no facts at all. :-) > > I am very numb:chubby numb cheeks, numb nose, numb lips, > chin...except i can feel my stitches pull every so often-go figure!! > > By the way can anyone tell me about when their stitches dissolved? > > What bothers me about the numbness is the tingling which i guess is > good because maybe the feeling is coming back but several mornings > I've woken up and it feels like my chin is on fire!
