After midface lift and infraorbital rim placement, will all this numbness of face, nose (even inside), lips & teeth resolve? i cant pucker, whistle or talk normally. Will my normal lip function return? the surgery was through my mouth with entry points on each side. ive been having paresthesia since 24 hrs after surgery but no noticeable improvement. what gives?! thanks for your reply.
