Regret my Surgery!

ORIGINAL POST

Regret my Surgery!

Catladygirl
I have done a lower jaw surgery for a class two malocclusion overbite, results:

1) numbness in my jaw and a discomfort feeling
2) skin redness in the jaw area and face, never had this before surgery
3) Jaw surgery cause ASSYMETRICAL JAW line and when I told the surgeon that, he claimed I had it before surgery, which I didn’t, look at my before pictures
4) surgery increased my lisp/ saliva production and its harder for me to say some words
5) my mouth most of the time is slightly open
6) surgeon mentioned that there is only 4% numbness, and I realized after connecting with people who’ve done surgery that 99% got numbness.
7) oral intimate is painful

Bottom line don’t believe this surgery doesn’t have side effects, enjoy the feeling of your lips and the comfort of un-paralyzed half face.

I am sorry to hear that you had so many side effects.
How do you feel now? Did the numbness go away?

Numbness never go away! if after 12 months it doesn't then no hope. However, oral intimate is better but I can open my mouth wide, sometimes when I eat I dont feel food particles on my jaw so I eat really careful in public especially soups I avoid :(
I had to accept the results and move on after I went through a post traumatic period that affected my mental health but now I moved on. If time go back I will never do this surgery because it was an extreme option to go for and I really didn't need it at all, so be careful!

Agree! The surgery is major and surgeons will downplay it . I think it will be forbidddn in the future . I asked a surgeon and he sails they cannot predict what will happen with soft tissues . Also : dont brlrive Titanic Platzes are harmless. Handing ptobltm 8 yesera After !

I’ve read a review here about bad jaw surgery and they went to another doc to restore nerve damage: Dr. Bagheri is that he has the ability to try and restore damaged nerves.

Thank you so much for sharing. I've had braces on for years and can't decide if I want to have surgery or not. I'm sure it will all work out fine for all of us. But it really is frustrating and traumatic and we think about our appearance and how attached we are to it.

I forgot to mention that now I take botox injections in my right salivary glands EVERY THREE MONTHS because surgery caused an over salivation in the right salivary gland in my mouth!!
