Numbness of Lip and Chin (Lower Left) After Chin Implant Surgery. How Long Should I Expect Numbness?

September 8, 2013
Asked By:Suzanne91022

Surgery was 7/19/13. Face lift, chin implant and rhinoplasty. I'm 58. Excellent health. Recovery has been flawless except for the numbness on one side (left). At first, I could not smile and speech was imparied. That is much better (about 90%). At one month check-up, my surgeon said that he would be worried if motor function had not improved but since it is improving, he is not worried. I'm just a little nervous because right side is completely healed and left side is still tingling and numb. Thanks
