Lower lip numbness

#1 Post by nyc1002 »

After 2 months my lower lip is still completely numb. Has anyone have feeling come back after this long?

Yes. Feeling continued to come back for a full 6 months. Have you had any tingly sensations yet? Those were the precursor of feeling returning, even in areas where it did not come back fully.

I'm 5 weeks post op, lower lip on right side is completely numb, left side really sensitive and slight feeling there, but it was like that when I came out of surgery and no change yet, perhaps slightly but that's it. I do however keep getting tinglings and itchings in my chin and lip so I'm hoping that's a good sign, as I am getting annoyed of biting my lower lip and not realising!!!
