I’m 10 days post op chin lipo. But my lower jaw is delayed, I can't smile and show my bottom teeth and I talk with a horrible lisp. I’m extremely worried, that there is permanent nerve damage. The tip of my tongue is numb. I’m a marketing director in my company and talking is what I do everyday. I wore my compression garment for a week 24/7 and this week started only wearing it at home.
