Topic	i got facial feminization surgery
adjl 06/27/23 12:13:29 PM #41:	chelsea___wtf posted... oh, i misspoke. I meant that she got jaw correction surgery a few days after I got FFS, so our recovery overlapped. I don't think it'd be safe to get one shortly after the other Ah, that makes more sense. It would be kind of odd to not just have them done at the same time, if the jaw was already getting chippity-chopped. chelsea___wtf posted... It's possible I'll have permanent nerve damage too - they pull a bunch of nerves out of the way to get at the jaw, and the numbness usually goes away after a while (several months to a year). Right now I have very little sensation besides pressure from the center of my lower lip down to my chin. Yeah, the nerves that innervate the chin and lips run through the mandible, so they had to be severed to make the necessary cuts for my surgery (and likely yours as well). On the right, the nerve cooperated, severed cleanly, and grew back properly, but on the left they ran into some troubles and had to tease it out of the bone, which made its recovery much slower and kept it from ever completely healing. What was really weird was that my brain was still wired to interpret the nerve ending as being in the right spot, even while it was still regrowing, so there was a point when the regrown part was back inside my cheek and I'd feel anything there as though it were touching my lip. The most noticeable was any time I held water in my cheek, it felt like I was drooling, which was kind of surreal. That did take a couple months to resolve, but where mine was basically just "chop bone, remove small piece, reattach bones" and not any more elaborate shaping like you had done, it wouldn't surprise me if your recovery takes longer. chelsea___wtf posted... Oh wow. I didn't have anything like that. I did have a lot of unrelated bruises that took forever to heal -- I got a medium-sized bruise on my arm a few days before my procedure and the bruise is still pretty visible now like 3 weeks later, lol Yeah, it was fun. Bonus points where I rarely get much by way of initial bruises, with them mostly only showing up a few days later when they're more yellow, so this was a couple days with nothing then waking up to my lower throat, shoulders, and down into my chest having turned yellow. It was pretty wild, but fortunately I was warned about it in advance. --- This is my signature.
