I had neck lipo under local anesthesia by a reputable doctor 2 days ago. I had significant swelling on the right side of my face immediately post-op which has subsided since, however my smile is crooked on that side. I knew damage to MMN is a complication of surgery, and it was one of the reasons I was hesitant about going through with it. Well it happened, and now I'm feeling very discouraged. Is there anything I can do to speed up recovery? What will I tell people what's wrong with my smile?
