Re: 1 week post-op numbness

[Guest guest]

Hello! I'm 7 weeks post-op (upper/lower and genio) and I also have a

completely normal and common. Although frustrating, my Dr. said it

could take months to a year to regain full sensation. I hope

everything works out for you, and good luck with the rest of the

recovery...
