I had neck/ chin lipo 10 days ago. I am still swollen in my gland area on both sides, which I know is normal. My concern is that my lip/mouth muscles feel damaged. For example, I am not able to rinse mouthwash without it dribbling out; I am not able to bit into things (i.e. a sandwich, or hamburger) normally. The right side of my mouth does not cooperate. I also notice an issue when spitting toothpaste, I'm unable to form my lips as I did pre-surgery. Is this likely related to the swelling?
