Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Now 8 weeks post-op. It seems that my left side of my lower jaw is very smooth and I am really unable to feel the plate at all. However, on my right side, I can really feel the plate. There is a pretty big bump. I'm wondering if this is just more scar tissue or something. My right lower chin is also pretty numb still. I notice that i get a dull pain after smiling or talking for a while on my right side as well. Could the plate and screw come loose at all?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I was swollen and still am on one side more than the other. I looked lopsided for a while. My doctor told me that it's typical that one side heals better than the other, something about how we're all asymmetrical or something. Anyway, i would talk about it to your doctor and see what he says. Sara > Now 8 weeks post-op.
