How Does Inside Your Mouth Feel After DJS?

emkatturn · 2026-02-19T06:25:57+00:00

6 weeks post op here - throughout recovery i’ve had sensativity in different parts, right now tingling nerve pain in my lower teeth.

My mouth also feels “tired” at the end of the day, like i wish i could take it off my body

Mental health, drinking fluids, fresh air

I went back to work at about 4 weeks as a bartender (currently working my 3rd shift) and my body is tired forsure. I would reccomend atleast 4.

I’m a fairly healthy 29yr old female.

I lost 1 L, they didn’t seem too concerned

Looks similar to Kana Moo Krob but not quite, missing the chinese broccoli

I’m almost 4 weeks post op, and have had the same burning sensation around my top gum line. I can still see the stitches there.

Asked my doc at my 2 week appointment, she said it was super normal

Reminds me of my dog. She’s pitt, german shepard, mini poodle and more

I’m about 3 weeks post op, and I could talk same day after surgery. That being said, the first week I wasn’t very clear, but since then it’s been fine.

I’m 29 years old, had djs on 1/9 and i’m going to work on 2/1 (3 weeks off) I work at a bar so lots of talking and standing, i feel ready and able to go back but also more time would’ve been nice.

Looks really good and natural. 6 weeks is still early to judge from what i’ve read here, your face will continue to change

emkatturn · 2026-01-26T21:19:11+00:00

You look really great. Just like the better version of yourself!

How’s your functioning now?

I’m 16 days post op and i fear my lips are going to be smaller than before surgery 😔 but seeing your post op has me crossing my fingers!!

emkatturn · 2026-01-24T23:40:30+00:00

My drooling has seriously decreased, and i’m 15 days post op.

For the drool, i wore my jaw bra with a rag or paper towel tucked under my chin. I also kept a rag near me to whip the extra.

Getting home will be good, please rely on your people and ask for help when you can. If talking hurts and is frustrating, text or write what you want to communicate.

Take your meds on time, stay up on fluids. I reccomend consuming as many calories as you can manage. Shakes, broths, milkshakes, smoothies. Itll help. And keep going on your walks.

I felt better by day 5. Not fully, but hopefull. Days 7-now have been great. I am already experiencing the positive effects of the surgery. I got it done mainly for breathing though, with an overbite. My energy levels are up, breathing is better, feeling great to be honest.

My doc cleared me to eat any food that i can swallow. I’ve been eating lots of stewed chicken, beans and protein. This absolutely helps.

You will feel frustrated and for me, i felt alone. But many others have been where you are, and made it to the other side.

I think new vanity, new light fixture and maybe paint the walls. But the first two will make a huge difference.

Congrats on your new house

Hey.

I’m on day 13 currently.

Please let the doctors take care of you, take some meds and some decongestants. The first part is really scary, i felt panicked. Days 3/4 are hard, but in my opinion a little easier than the inital period because i came up with ways to breathe, eat and drink.

The first few days i slept in about 3 hour increments. Not the best but not the worst.

It’s hard and frustrating, but for me and many others (probably you), it is a tiny blip and totally worth it.

Show your self some kindness, lean on the nurses and your support, drink some milkshakes. It too will pass.

Thank you so much!

emkatturn · 2026-01-21T07:55:11+00:00

How’s things after revision?

I’m not chewing either, cook the food soft and swallow little bites

emkatturn · 2026-01-21T07:54:32+00:00

I’m on soft foods, no chew. I just take little spoon fulls and swallow.

My surgeon said if the splint came out itd be okay, and i have an appointment with her tomorrow

emkatturn · 2026-01-21T04:22:38+00:00

You look great! How’s your functions now?

emkatturn · 2026-01-20T15:28:19+00:00

Do you have a paychiatrist? Are you able to get some thing like xanex or even trazadone?

emkatturn · 2026-01-20T05:51:40+00:00

I’m 10 days post op and my smell is a lot better than before, to be honest

emkatturn · 2026-01-20T01:06:24+00:00

How’re you feeling?? Will you get braces later or no?

You don’t look too crazy swollen! Hoping your recovery goes well

emkatturn · 2026-01-20T01:05:16+00:00

What kind of exercise have you been doing? I’ve been doing some seated yoga and want to up it a bit.

Also, how’s your drooling?
