God bless Physical therapy! My ar is slowly regenerating. Croooked smile improving but still there.
Hi Stella,
You are probably correct in your research findings. I bet you had to sign a "release from responsibility" before the doctor would do anything. Unfortunately, time will tell if this is permanant. There is a huge risk of nerve damage when cosmetic surgery involves the face and its thin structures. Even having specific teeth pulled can cause nerve damage in the face and tongue.
Have you spoken with your surgeon about this yet? Perhaps daily light massage and cold/warm therapy could be done. Stimulate the "sleeping" nerves to "feel" again. Just an idea, I'm not a doctor nor a professional in the surgical field. It just makes sense to try some of these.
I wish you luck...love your face...no more lifts...you are who you are supposed to be. :)
