Hi,I had madible advancement surgery a year ago. I am now suffering from a tingling sensation on my left side of jaw when touching the area, or when applying cosmetics etc.. Is this related to the plate or nerve? the incision site is slightly tender and lumpy but no signs of infection or inflammation.what could possibly be causing this weird feeling??
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your symptoms I suspect that there could be damage to the facial nerve at the time of the surgery which can lead to tingling sensation in the face, this will gradually go as the nerve generation takes place. I would suggest you to take multivitamin tablets daily for 15 days, this procedure takes usually 3-6 months to heal. If the condition persists or worsen visit to the Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done. Hope this helps out. Regards.
