Hey Everyone,
First off, thanks Brandon for putting together this site. It has been such a big help to me before and during my recovery.
I am 16 days out from surgery. Every thing went well, but my surgeon mentioned that during surgery there was a bit of damage to my nerve on my left side of my face and that there is a slight chance full feeling will not return to the right side of my chin. I appreciate his honesty with me. I know doctors are suppose to tell you the worst case scenario, but I am confident I will regain 100% feeling.
I still have a good amount of swelling in my checks and lips. I am numb from the sides of my nose and inside cheeks, down to my chin (pretty much down the middle of my face). Although, there is a spot on the left center of my upper lip that has already gain feeling back!
My question though has to do with asymmetry. When I talk, the right side of my mouth goes higher then my left. In fact, it seems the right side of my face is stronger than my left at this point (although i can smile normally). I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with something like this, where it seems one side is healing at a different rate than the other.
Thanks everyone and good luck with your surgeries!
