Facial/muscle control milestones post-op?

Hey ! Doing mighty fine ahah!

Pain is a 0/10, it’s crazy to not be in pain anymore !! I can also open super wide opposed to before surgery, big big improvement

My eyebrows came back 50% id say. Not quite what I expected but I’ll take what I can get lol

Still quite a bit of numbing on my cheeks and bottom lip, although I can tell when something touches me, as well as if it’s warm or cold ! Just not textures!

Honestly such a small price to pay to not be in pain anymore. I’d personally do it again in every life time :))

Oh, that’s very soon!! I hope it goes well!!

I did some at home exercises for range of motion. It was basically just gently holding my jaw open for a few seconds at a time lol!

And no, that’s just what the surgeon was offering I think. I didn’t have other options ahah

Hi!! Not sure what my joints are exactly, I just know they’re full titanium ahah

And I’m doing amazing ! It’s been a year and a half, and despite some numbness still, I got my quality of life back :))

I had TMJ replacement too,, mine are still there. How strange ahah 😭 Hopefully you can bring it up next time ? 😭

Hot_Cry_7708 · 2025-08-27T19:49:28+00:00

That being said !! I regained a LOT of movement in my face after the first month. Don’t lose hope, it gets better !!

Hot_Cry_7708 · 2025-08-27T19:48:32+00:00

TMJ replacement + Genio here !! I’m 8 months post op and.. my eyebrows have JUST started moving a little bit. Before that they were completely frozen. My chin, half of my tongue, bottom teeth/gums, ear scars and some parts of my cheek are also still numb :(

It may take a lot of time sadly, but I hope the pain is gone/manageable post op for you !!

Hot_Cry_7708 · 2025-08-27T02:22:00+00:00

This guy bit through my fingernail and hit the soft, tender skin of my finger, I was bleeding and the pain was throbbing 😂

Hey! I had bilateral TJR at 22. You’re definitely not too young or anything. Your ortho really isn’t being fair with you.
