I am more than one year post op. to underbite double jaw surgery , my lower lip feels really strange , i think i got numb patches but if i touch i feel the area though it really gets hard and stiff time to time .
to everybody who been through this surgery please explain how did your recovery go and now after a year span how do you feel in your lower lip area , numbness is the most common risk of this surgery and thus it makes me anxious to know if there is anybody who recovered completely from it

I'm 2 years post-op and my entire lower lip, lower gums and chin is partially numb. I don't think about it much.

I believe that is for severed nerves, not damage from nerves being stretched.

its been more than 5 years since my last jaw surgery ..Ive had two jaw surgeries by the way and as a result i got permanent nerve damage on my bottom lip..that was the least of my worries..I just wanted to improve my smile :)

I'm now 1,5 month post-op and most of the numbness has gone away entirely, except for a small spot on the lower left of my bottom lip that still feels a bit 'off' when stretched or kissed. I guess I got lucky?
