A question for fellow post op patients:
I had a Lefort 1 (upper jaw) surgery on July 1st. I am still having a lot of numbness on my right cheek. (not my lips or chin) It's a weird almost stiff feeling. My left cheek is not numb. When I try to smile my left side moves but my right side doesn't.
Does this sound familiar? I know 6 weeks is still early, but I was curious. I am not a spring chicken, so I wonder if it takes longer to heal when you're an "old" lady. LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
