Lip numbness from my jaw surgery has ruined my life.

[sasukeisgorgeous]

had lefort 2 years ago. half of lip and chin is still numb

its all i can think about. it feels less sensation and stiffness. its horrible. absolutely horrible. i just think to all of the men who can feel their full mouth and feel so hopeless and envious.

its giving me horrible anxiety and brain fog. nothing feels pleasurable. feels like my life is over. ocd kicking in. i need my lip to be normal.

its weird. i was used to it, i guess. up until last month. i dont know why but all the sudden it is acutely bothering me.

its fucking me over so hard. i dont even know what happened. it gives me so much anxiety.

how bad is the pain 0-10

 

[sasukeisgorgeous]

how bad is the pain 0-10

theres no pain at all. this isnt a pain issue.

its just pure discomfort. its stiffness. and lack of sensation. and my mind is always thinking about it and catastrophising it.

Relax lol it's just numbness
Its just a mental thing anyways just find something to do to get ur mind off it

 

[Eiei]

bro relax a little i saw a thread of you being depressed because you have a ugly face, now that, if you already are used to it from months probably you just are anxious, try to relax

thats what i think. i had surgery 2 years ago. why is it suddenly bothering me so fucking much now out of nowhere?

i think my anxiety flaring up is making it so much worse. not sure what to do. might need to take magnesium to calm my anxiety

 

[sasukeisgorgeous]

yeah, i dont know how though. i keep trying to mentally convince myself thers nothing i can do about it and just move on.


i may need to fix my anxiety. need magneisum pills

 

[lelouch]

i have ocd too i know how this feels like lol, you'll be fine after you deeply accept it and move on from compulsions

try glycinate for sleep

 

[sasukeisgorgeous]

try glycinate for sleep

magnesium glycinate?

i sleep fine, i just always tense my and flex my body. i think due to anxiety and then theres this awful mindfulness of my numb lip.

what do you think i should do? which magnesium and what times should i take it?

ngl if i were you id become obsessed and study evry pathway cofactor n methodology that was used in the surgery and RESEARCH all day, i get that that sensation is very bad but there MUST BE a way of fixing it (prob wouldnt even bother going to doctors since they are mostly braindead and dc now bc u already paid),also theres sooo many people that get cosmetical surgeries that the numbers just make it extremely unlikely for nobody to fix that same issue aswell, so yeah just become a geek and dedicate hours every day, you got this bro

yes magnesium glycinate, take the dose that is recommended, at night

you shouldn't overstimulate your brain in night, keep lighting off or low, meditate, do boring things, or anything that calms you

i know that what im going to say sounds hard and impossible but it works for me, you should try to ignore this thoughts, like don't think about ignoring them, try to just ignore, and if this forum causes you to be like that away, go out for at least some days

most people just dgaf about this after 2 years, they just get used to it or think they've regained all their sensation there when they actually didn't but just got used to it too

thats fucking insane. yeah, i felt like i got used to it. but not, all of a sudden it is bothering me immensely.

i think its my anxiety flaring up, perhaps.

what do you think i should do?

also is there any hope to recover it?

not having ocd would help. or you can just fucking accept that you can't change it and move on nigga, like what else will you do? smash the region with a hammer until you feel something?

Ye as I know only about 80% goes back best case scenario. Depends on the surgeon ig, but who cares jfl, better that than being birdcel or whatever

exactly. if one would rather being a subhuman because of not wanting to lose a bit of sensation in the jaw, than good for us, since less competition lol

im working on that part. just accepting i cant do nothing about it.

theres too much of that too accept. my fucking garbage, long ass midface too ... fuck

 

[Deleted member 30552]

why does it bother you so much u cant even feel it

 

[Deleted member 13710]

Wait, you got brain fog from lip numbness? That doesn't sound real. You must have something else causing the brain fog.

well there is only a limited amount of conscious focus in the present moment.

Anything using that focus and attention, is draining. small or not, can be blown out of proportion in the house of mirrors which is the human mind

Example, I invested years into the face exercise meme, which did work, but I flexed or worked my brow/forehead too much or something then I stopped when I noticed it staying stiff and weird sensations causing anxiety all day. Started to panic a little realizing even if I stop it might be years or not at all before it weakens/un-hypertrophys

OK, but this is not really what most people mean by brain fog.

Ngl wisdom tooth extractiom definetly scared me out of ever doing any osteonomies. At most I'll do genio

i just had trimax w/ 2 wisdom tooth removals, one was horizontal too, which are harder to remove

 

[longjohnmong]

dude, you need to start meditating and regain a bit of control on your mind

 

[Krakowski]

OP is right

No one in their right mind should get jaw surgery

Too risky

 

[RandomGREY]

I can’t understand what that sensation would be like. Also I’m getting jaw surgery soon and praying this doesn’t happen to me. There’s a chance yours still goes away op. If not, look into nerve transplant or some surgery like that I heard of.

 

[LongForgotten]

Same, and my face already looks like an aubergine now... just had the straight lower 1 removed

Unironically after my wisdom surgery I realized it’s not scary. A good surgeron won’t let u feel any pain + my wisdom teeth were gone in 5 mins/teeth

The 3 needle injections were horrific. I could literally feel it sliding in and out of my masseter muscle, so uncomfortable. They also did one in my tongue, the needle they used for me atleast, was rather large and really hurt.

At 1 point the surgeon pushed down on my jaw so hard it felt like it would dislocate. And the moment when the tooth pop off the bone, I heard a loud sound like biting on a chip. Was terrifying haha.

I've had nose surgery before, but I was asleep, and when I woke up everything was done, was more like a beauty sleep compared to this. Ik you sleep during bimax too but the swelling sucks so bad knowing I look like a walking eggplant.

 

[Deleted member 31020]

People who say looks>health are complete retards, but in ur case its just a numbness in a lip

 

[Ifter]

i don't feel my lip and chin it's only month after , hope it changes

Only upper, not lower? Did you get this just for cosmetic reasons? If so then did you look better?
At the end of the day if you look better, you look better.

I'll be getting bimax soon for functional issues (obviously it will affect my looks too). Hope I don't regret it

How fucked is kissing now? I can't imagine how weird it'd feel tryna kiss with a numb lip

how does does it feel overall? who was your. suegeon?

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

Hmm. While that sucks mate, I have to say if it corrected a noticable physical deformity, then it will be worth it in the long run. I say this as someone with residual numbness and tightness under the lip which will probably never go away. But the surgery made me look and feel much better so it was worth it. Would have preferred to look good and not be numb but that’s not the hand I was dealt. At this point I’m looking to try out some treatments to see if anything helps. Steroid shot, stem cells, acupuncture, electrical impulse…Gotta do more research.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

Also mate, sounds like you’re beatin’ yourself up over it as part of some larger anxiety/depressive issue. It ain’t the numbness that’s got you down. You feel like shit and your mind goes to the numbness. Focusing on the negative only. Textbook depression…I know because I’ve been in similar shoes to yours.

Are you career maxxing, health maxxing, gym maxxing…? If not I highly recommend you get on that.

You need to get your mind right and you’ll be able to ignore the numbness. I won’t tell you to see a therapist (unless that is your only option), but have you got a best mate, a father, priest, cult leader, or AI chatbot you can talk to? Just letting it out in person can help a little. Psychedelics? Get on meds? Find something. May have to try several things but I bet some pharmacological intervention could help you a lot. Do some research and decide for yourself. Cheers

Bro not gonna lie you went to a shit surgeon but I don’t balenyou. My orthodontist called in a surgeon that only does tooth extractions so dude was a expert and I felt no pain and it was so quick

It wasnt pain honestly, just extreme discomfort

 

[Deleted member 18582]

I was more shocked you went through that entire procedure, make an account here and talk about midface and forehead aesthetics and what not, underwent other cosmetic procedures but still didnt know if your bimax had rotation on it. Do you understand my disbelief? You set off so many orange flags with regards to your procedure.
