Two weeks out!!
Hi everyone! I had a follow up a few days ago and my dr was very pleased with my progress. He wants me to keep wearing my strap while I'm at home and when I sleep. Still have swelling, more still on left than right. Still have a numb chin and bottom lip and can't smile normally yet. But I was fully expecting this and am staying positive. I'm happy so far just want this pesky swelling to go away!!! Patience and positivity is key.
It's been a week!
Well I made it to the 7 day mark! It hasn't been all too bad. I had days that were worse than others.
I still have swelling and numbness in the middle of my bottom lip down to bottom of chin. I'm experiencing all the tingles and odd sensations in both so that's a good sign! I can't smile normally yet but I'm confident I will be fine in due time. My post op appt is in two days so I hope I get a positive progress report! I am going to bring up the swelling really just for peace of mind. I feel like I still have jowls, especially on the left. All my friends and family are convinced it's just swelling but I want to hear what the doc has to say. I will update again soon!

3rd day post op
Well my swelling is at an all time high. My cheeks are so puffy as well as my bottom lip (which is numb in the middle). The pain is bad today and yesterday and I must admit, I'm a tad discouraged. I've had to take the strap off for a few minutes at a time for some relief but I get scared and put it right back on. I was told yesterday and today would be bad swelling days and that wasn't a lie. Last 24 hours have been rough. I hope it starts easing up soon.
