Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hi welcome to the group. Congratulations on getting to the other side. Im approaching my 3rd year post op anniversary this summer. I had surgery to correct A class III under bite. I had upper, lower and RPE. After surgery my face was numb from the eyes down. It did gradually ease off over 3months or so. I do have a little numberness under my lower lip to the right, but that was from a previous surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. it takes a while for the swelling and numbness to subside you've just got to bare with it. sOME of the numbeness my ease once the swelling goes down. You will find you get tingling sensations which suggests that the numbess is easing. |Good luck with recovering. One tip get pleanty of fluids and keep on top of your medication. Any questions and your in the right place. I was so glad of the help and advice i received on these boards. These guys are ace!
