What can be done to correct swelling, bumps, and difficulty moving lip after jaw surgery? (photo)

Question

Hi I had a lower jaw advancement surgery one year ago. My nerve was somehow damaged because I have feeling when I touch the skin but it hard to move my lower lip. Feels very stiff. I still have bumps and swelling around my lower lip and cheeks. My surgeon told me to do fillers but I don’t want to add volume. I’d like to understand if it’s soft tissue related, or residual swelling? What else can I do? Heard about steroid injections, micro needling, ultrasounds…

A neck and face lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure tightens sagging skin, smooths deep folds, and removes excess fat, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It involves making incisions around the hairline and ears, lifting and repositioning underlying tissues, and redraping the skin. The goal is to achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial contours and restore a firmer, smoother neck and face profile.
