Swelling - 5 weeks

[Jade12]

I had my surgery about 5 weeks ago and still am very swollen, more so on my right side then my left. I'm just wondering how long before i look half way normal = and how long before my teeth come together. My gums hurt between my two front teeth and my top lip is still numb.. getting very frustrated...

I really don't remember when all the swelling dissipated after my SARPE but I do remember that it took a couple of months for the gap to close completely. It started closing right after I stopped turning- it just took some time.
