Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hello everyone, I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought I would give an update of my progress from upper jaw surgery. I can open all the way as of 2 mmonths post-op which is 47mm. No more pain in my cheek muscles. I get the ocassional soreness on long days or when I am stressed. I have all my feeling back in my face except maybe 1% in my upper lip and I have about 40% feeling in my teeth and gums. Lastly, I only have just a little lip incompetance that my os said should go away in the next couple months. He said the scar tissue in my lip is still softening. So people who just had surgery or will have surgery don't worry so much if your lips don't close right after surgery thats normal. I would also like to say this was toally worth everything I went thru and would do it all over again. The confidence I have gained from my new look is just unimaginable. I wish I would have done this sooner. Take care and good luck to everyone's upcoming surgeries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
