5 years post upper and lower jaw surgery
Still regret this surgery. No feeling in lip and chin, makes eating a disaster zone, messy and embarrassing. No feeling in my gums. My chin is now weak looking, my mouth is twisted, the skin is loose around my chin and neck. The pics say it all. Sure, I could get fillers, botox or face lift, but I really am not at that income level. I can't afford that. The surgeon said at the time, "just get fillers", but he probably doesn't know what it's like to live on a normal income level.
2.5 years post jaw surgery
They never told me a risk was having chronic burning sensation. Although it has lessened, I continue to feel a slight burning to my lower lip and chin. Also my gums are numb so it's very hard to floss and feel if there's food stuck in my teeth. I can feel very little sensation in my lower lip and chin so eating is often embarrassing with food all over it that I can't feel is there. This surgery is my greatest regret of my life.
13 months post op
At 90 days post op the continuous agonizing burning stop. Unfortunately for some strange reason at about 11 months post op the burning resumes. Numbness continues to all of gums, most of lower lip and chin. Chin and lower lip feel frozen and heavy, difficult to move, and burn constantly. I'm back to having to take 600mg of neurontin twice a day. Really regret this surgery.
Provider Review
Nova Southeastern University School of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
After a long, painful 3 months the pain has finally dissipated. The recovery was very rough for me. I finally feel without pain, numbness is still no different though. I miss being able feel my lower lip especially. The doctors are pleasant but do not disclose any hint of difficulty or after surgery expectations. Knowing what to expect after waking up would have helped make an educated decision before going forward and less panic after the surgery.
