I'm not an expert by any means, but that makes no sense to me whatsoever. You had the surgery and then these things showed up. It seems there's almost 100% chance that the surgery was the cause. And he says he's 100% sure it wasn't? Weird. I thought the same. But consulted 3 other surgeons and all ...

The hard part is proving all this in court with evidence. Keep records of everything if you think you would sue one day. You don't have to prove 100%, you just have to prove that your case is the most likely, and that may be enough to hold up in court. Thank you for your sympathy, but you need it m...

I know how you feel. Sleep is a real asset. I had surgery 5 years ago ( I can't believe it's been that long ) and I still have a burning feeling in my mouth. It comes and goes, and honestly it sounds to be much less severe than yours, but on a bad day it is absolutely debilitating. If i were to sca...

Thank you thats very kind

That's good to hear that you have some feeling everywhere! :D The nerves take the longest to recover. That tingling in your cheek is good. I had tingling in one cheek that took over a year to return to normal :roll: That's good that the stiffness in your mouth and chin is slowly getting better too ...

No I havent done anything. Back then I believed I only had problems with aesthetic. If that was the case Id probably have the strenght to cruise tvrew doctors and search for solutions. With nerve damage - theres not much you can do (apparently) I was told its prob due to swelling and will resolve. ...

Back in January you were talking about getting a lot of additional work done. Did you do that? Are you still taking the antidepressants? Ps. Im not taking antidepressants any more. To be honest I cant even schedule an appointment with doctor.. I know I should But then I feel hopeless and dont do a ...

Ive posted here before on how bad my aesthetic results are. Unfortunatelly they got even worse as swelling went down (4th month now) but its not all. My motor nerve (eye and mouth branch) as well as lingual nerve got injured/damaged - dont know. Experiencing constant tongue burning. Lips assymetry (...

Thank you! Thats so sweet of you. Its 3 months now (nearly) and every week I look worse. Lip and cheeks dropped have no support no teeth show and this is why i was initially doing the surgery. I looked better after camouflage (in terms of lips and all) Dont know what to do I need ab 3 mm more (advan...

Thank you. I was trying to stay positive. I even managed to convinced myself I look good. Up until I went out to meet my friends. Its truly devastating to see the look on their faces.. made me go back home and crawl under the covers again. This sirgery was the biggest mistake of my life. Well not tj...

not optimistic. Its 2 months post op. I don't look good. And my upper left lip is not moving (possibly nerve injury). Is there anyone here who didn't like the way they looked 2 months post op and miraculously did appreciate it I don't know.. 6 months post? Im so depressed..

What country are you in? It's really unusual that a surgeon recommends follow-up procedures to treat issues with the soft tissues so quickly. Those people on here that were rushed back in for a revision were always because the bone was in the wrong place. For any soft tissue issues they pretty much...

Whaaaaaaat......... Who is this surgeon, if you don't mind my asking? Also if you don't mind my asking, are you paying out of pocket for all of this?! For surgery I paid out of my pocket, for all thats being done now - no charge so far. He is the best surgeon in my country. The most complicated cas...

Honestly, three months at minimum before you should evaluate anything, but six months is better. I have an update :( I saw my surgeon yoday. He admitted although we did downgrafted and moved forward - the result is not good (upper lip too long + nit enough jaw projection to support the lip. That is...
