Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 HI everyone In the summer i got surgery on my upper jaw. They advanced it 11.5 mm using a device which i had to adjust 1mm everyday for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks was up, my left side of my device of my left cheek started rubbing against my left cheek and i had a bulge.My right side was normal. They had two take me back to the hospital to remove the rods on both sides (not the OR room). After waiting for anther month i was again called in to remove my device. Since then i have some noticeable swelling on my upper left and right cheek and the cheeks under my nose looks like i have a tissue stuck on top of my upper gums. I am aware that swelling takes time to heal, but i wanted to know if anyone has a smiliar problem. I am feeling down and i need help. How long will it take to completely be gone? BTW-I am going again for my second surgery to push back my lower jaw and advance my chin (i have a receding chin) has anyone got that and how long does it take for the swelling to recede?? Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
