can you explain your symptoms in detail so I could compare? thanks Well I had an underbite but after surgery I still had an underbite which became even worse over time, my underbite now is worse than before I had surgery, it feels like my jaws are alligned incorrectly it's a horrible feeling as it ...

did you do a separate surgery to remove the hardware? how did your surgeon mess up? mine said he performed mine textbook perfectly but he also has an ego the size of an elephant so of course he said that. I know the tightness and stiffness is dreadful, and this surgery is the biggest regret of my l...

do you have hardware in your jaw and chin? I regret it because I had no functional or cosmetic concerns beforehand, I was manipulated by my surgeon and orthodontist. Hi, no I don't have any hardware. The tightness/stitness is driving me insane at times. There is no solution, only luck and time can ...

I'm in the exact same situation you described. I'm also 2 years post-op. I am so mad, the surgery made me look worse, but like you said the functional problem of being I constant never-ending pain and discomfort when having a conversation is way worse. I totally relate on the bells palsy thing! act...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experienced lip / chin paralysis in addition to the feeling of tightness? Right after my genio half of my lower lip and chin were TOTALLY paralyzed and it is still bad although improved somewhat almost two years later. It makes me so badly regret the genioplasty. A...

Hi

i'm 10 months post up now, my chin is normal now , but my lower lip is horrible still :/

I still have improvents, my chin is improving a lot, it's actually returning to normal starting from below slowing going up. My underlip however is bad, it feels like the lip is frozen like there is no bloodflow. But my chin area is returning to normal! The muscles feel less tightened in one positio...

I'm going to tell him to schedule the plate removal ASAP.....I hope and pray this surgeon is able to fix this mess, I would be sooooooooooooo eternally grateful to him. [/quote...

I'm pleased to announce that most of my tightness is actually fading, it's only a small area on my chin that is left with this tightness. I do get some tingeling sensation in my lower lip every day. So hang in there, it might actually resolve on it's own. So the tightness is gone for like 50% since ...

Yes I have the exact same experience. At start my chin was numb and it didn't bother me. But after around 2 or 3 months I regrained some feeling but the muscles remained stiff. And it seems to get worse day by day. I also have an itchy feeling in my chin area (so I have still hope that my nerves wil...

It basicly feels like a sleeping leg. It's super annoying. It feels like my chin and lower lip don't belong to my body, and yet I have full control over it. Next visit at the end of this month I will discuss options with my surgeon... i'm hoping she has some steroid injections or something that magi...

[quote=Sara123456789 post_id=505855 time=1543791807 user_id=30794] Thanks for the replies. Please, please keep me posted if you try any treatments. I might get my chin hardware removed in a few months as I seem to be struggling right where the chin plate is. You are right about accepting this---that...

The biggest challenge for people like us will probably be to find a way to live with this issue. I will try to ignore the feeling and teach and train my brain not focus on the tightness and filter it out. I have experienced many painful and terrible events in my life (such as an eye disease, infecti...
