Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Pam- Not sure what type of surgery you had. I had both upper and lower. I'm 6 weeks post op and still have terrible trouble with my ears. They feel like I just got off a plane - pressure and blockage that makes it hard to hear. I had to go back on pain meds to cope with it. My OS suggested that it was caused by internal swelling from the LeForte. He said to try decongestants & a heat pack to relieve the swelling. Others on the board have also suggested a humidifier in your room or hot/steamy showers. (not be be discouraging - but none of that helped me....I might have a visit to a ENT in my future if it doesn't clear up soon....) the drooling gets better - I still had random drooling if I bent over or looked down by moving my head into the third week. That really does go away though. As I got back fine motor function in my mouth and lips - the drooling stopped. Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi Cyndy, I had both upper and lower jaws done - I feel like i've just come out of a loud rock concert (I saw Aerosmith a few years ago and my ears rang like this for a week after - but it was worth it!) I have a humidifier right by my bed ... oh well, just wait and see. Thanks for your reply, Pam > My ears are still ringing 2 weeks post-op. Does anyone else have this > problem?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I have that same fullness now, pre-surgery. Nothing I have tried makes it go away. I have been to the ENT and on that level, everything looks fine. My hearing was checked and that is also fine. I wonder, could this have to do with the jaw positioning?
