2)Cont… My face has gotten fuller and physically bigger in contrast to comparable photos prior to treatment.  I have facial edema on my right side which starts from my cheek to my temple- down to the back of my ear and through the side of my jaw.  My face seems to droop on my right side. When I smile, I feel pressure in the right side of my cheek. The muscle there knots up and this is prevalent when I smile.  I have seen several doctors and all are unsure of what is happening. I had a CT Scan & blood tests and everything is ok. I saw a maxillofacial specialist- he states that one side of my jaw is shorter than the other & this is the influence and this is the way it will be for the rest of my life.? I don’t agree. I believe that there is pressure that needs to be relieved somehow by the 1st premolar that is now vertical. Either by having the tooth removed or something.  I am at a loss and in pain & discomfort, & now I am getting depressed because my face is huge & swelled up on one side- for the past several months, at least.  Please help.
