Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hi everybody! I'm a new member. I've had TMJ pain for about 10 years (I'm now 24), and finally had upper orthognathic surgery last May. While the pain is a lot better, I've had bone loss and my cartilage is so screwed up that it looks like I'll have to have joint surgery to help my limited movement. Anyway, the only thing I really don't like about the orthognathic surgery is the swelling in my face!!! The incision inside my mouth has pretty much healed, but I still have swelling in my nose and the area of my face on either side of it. My surgeon says it should go away in 6-9 months, but I was wondering what you guys have experienced in this department... Thanks! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
