Re: My smile is crooked after surgery!!!

Hi Hizelen,

Have you had a chance to discuss this with your OMS? If you haven't

already spoken with your OMS, make a list of the symptoms you are

having much like you did here and make an appointment. Please let us

know what you find out too. Good luck with this.

Hugs,

Fran
