Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hello, I'm four months post op and my recovery hasn't been the easiest though I have no regrets about going through with the surgery. Since my original surgery I have had infections, swelling, pain and discomfort. I had another surgery to drain out any infection after antibiotics failed and to open my sinuses a little more a 6 weeks ago. It didn't make any difference. I also fell and broke my jaw which made things worse! I saw my surgeon today and he said that he needs to have a CT and MRI scan to see what's happening. And that I will need another surgery, he's not sure if he will take the plates out the same time but he probably will. We also discussed my next surgery, though finding and resolving this problem is the first thing he will do. He says that I need lower jaw surgery done along with surgery for my speech, nose and " dents " . I will also be having a section of my upper lip removed during one of the surgeries. I have also been signed off work for another couple of weeks. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
