How long does the swelling take to come down after a maxillofacial surgery?should i take some meds to aid it?
Question:
Answers:
"Maxillofacial surgery" is a specialty of dentistry.
If you had corrective jaw surgery, it would be called "orthognathic surgery", and continued swelling (provided it is decreasing) is normal. If all you had was your wisdom teeth removed, then your symptoms would be abnormal.
Numbness of your face, i.e. below your eyes and the right and left halves of your chin and lower lip are normal, for a while. Nerve injuries, temporary or permanent, are a distinct possibility with orthognathic surgery, and your doctor almost certainly discussed the risks with you beforehand.
