Ask a QuestionNaso Labial Fold Worse After Smile Distractor?
3 months ago I had a smile distractor, they cut my two upper jaws loose and put a steal bar and slowly distracted. Directly after the operation, I had major bleeding in swelling my right cheek. It took me at least a month for the swelling to go away. And now I have noticed the nasolabialfold has gotten worse on that side. Is it because it's still swollen. I feel a distinct pain when I push that right side, left I feel nothing. Is this normal?Did something go wrong? What todo about the nasolf?
