Crooked Smile

I'm almost 2 months post-op, and my smile is still very crooked. I was first told that it was because I wasn't exercising my muscles and also due to the numbness of nerves. But it's my right side that doesn't pull up as far, and that side has NO numbness at all. Is this permanent??? Has anyone had this problem??? I'm slightly concerned.

I'm almost 2 months post-op and I have the same thing but mine is because of residual swelling on my right side. Do you still have swelling? You could still have some inside your cheeks causing it.

Don't worry though its exactly what I'm going through. In fact I asked my surgeon when I would be able to smile again properly and he said range of motion should return to normal within another 6 weeks.

Being patient sucks

Ohhhhhh, yes, I do have some swelling still. This is very reassuring, thanks!!
