Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hello, I am 5 weeks post op lower advancement. I think I am healing pretty well but have a couple of questions. My chin and lip area are still very numb and it seems one side of my face is still swollen causing my face to look offset.( I hope it is just swelling) Is this normal at this stage?? also what is expected at this stage for being able to open mouth. I can open about enough to fit a fork with some noodles on it or something but not much more than that. It feels like when I try to open my mouth wide that I am opening it much more than I actually am, Does it take more time to be able to open fully? And will have to start forcing it to open eventually? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
