Pam/Re: Trivita nerve repair - to

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,,

I had no lower lip numbness at all. My upper lip is still a little

swollen. If I get a chance I will upload a picture showing the

swelling. It is only noticeable close up. Yes, the numbness was my

biggest complaint regarding the surgery. It does though get better

as each days goes by. I really found that at week 5 post op, things

were so much better. At 5 weeks post op the majority of the swelling

had decreased along with most of the numbness. So hang in there

because it will surely get better!

At 3 months post op, I am very happy with my results. I would surely

do it again and have no regrets. I am sure in a few weeks you will

be saying the same thing! I can remember back when I was at where

you are now. It was surely frustrating dealing with the numbness and

that drooling. I also went through periods of the nose running with

no warning. The drooling started getting better at about 3 to 4

weeks post op and the nose started getting better around 5 weeks post

op. Even though it may seem like forever now for you until all this

gets better, I hope it helps you to hear that it will get better

before you know it! Just take one day at a time and anytime you have

concerns just know we are here to help!

Sending you a big virtual hug your way,
