Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 I am 18 days post-op and have the splint and bands and swollen and painful upper lip. talking is something i avoid. when i do have to talk to people a lot of them seem to get uncomfortable with it. sometimes i tell them i had jaw surgery and can't talk so well. i guess i'm supposed to talk to keep things moving but it is an effort. i don't expect things to improve until the splint is out and that may be 3 more weeks. -- In orthognathicsurgerysupport , erica4614 <no_reply@y...> wrote: > hi everyone! > well,this tuesday will be 2 weeks post op from my upper > jaw/genioplasty surgery and things have gone great! but im still > having issues talking, my upper and bottom lip are still swollen so > when i talk it looks like im not really moving my mouth. did this > happen to anyone else? and when is it gonna start looking normal? > haha, i feel great but i know people are wondering why im talking so > funny. > > thanks!
