Post surgery
Just had my palate expansion surgery done on Wednesday. Why do I feel intense pressure every time I swallow, even liquid? It feels like my jaw is coming apart
Re: Post surgery
Hmm...could be from being intubated? I had SARPE on Monday and my throat definitely hurt for the first couple of days. I'm 6 days post op now. It gets better, but get used to having weird pains, tingling, numbness. Every day is something new. It's quite the roller coaster! Good luck! It does get better!Raerae2639 wrote:Just had my palate expansion surgery done on Wednesday. Why do I feel intense pressure every time I swallow, even liquid? It feels like my jaw is coming apart

Looks like we are on almost the same timeline. I still have A LOT of facial swelling to the point that my orthodontist was really surprised. Did yours start clearing yet?

I had my upper jaw expanded during my surgery (2 piece Lefort) and experienced the same discomfort. Your palate is sore from being stretched. Swallowing and talking made it worse. It will feel better around Week 3. Hang in there!
