BSSO revision?

#1 Post by massey1873 »

I am so emotionally tired. I had my BSSO on May 8th. The surgeon damaged a nerve and part of my face is completely numb. He recommended I see a nerve specialist the day after surgeon. Well today my second visit to the ortho, the ortho said that my relapse (my surgeon took my bite splint out at three weeks and I saw the ortho four days later and apparently had relapsed) is 2mm.

This is my third time in braces. I got them and decided on surgery because apparently my migraines were caused by my bite.

So should I go see the specialist for another jaw surgery to fix the 2mm and possibly the nerve?
