Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hey All! Hope someone out there can help. I went to OS today for 6 mos post op check up (all is good) do have lingering nerve numbness/tingling but he seemed to be positive about recovering more as I do have feelings in lip/chin. We discussed options for correcting the inbalance of my jaws as result of my surgery (right jaw larger than left now). My two options was either shaving the larger one or putting implant in smaller one. He still wants to wait 1 yr post op before we even consider it (fine with me). Either procedure would be done in his office and I would not have to go under general anethesia and he said it would not further affect my nerves. Question is has anyone run into this problem? If so, what did you do (if anything?). I feel like I'm a glutton for punishment to even consider this. I'm very happy with results of my surgery, but I just feel that after all I've been through, I would like a little more symmetrical face! I get a little disappointed when I think about having more surgery (and this one is abolutely unecessary). The difference is slight and people don't notice until I point out (or so they say). Then they think it's just that one side is more swollen than the other. Opinions? We'll see how I feel at my 1 yr anniversary. I'm not distraught over this, but just torn as to what I want to do. Thanks for listening! Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
