,
I am hoping someone out there could give me some advice. A friend of mine had a nose job two weeks ago for cosmetic reasons. The cast
was removed one week ago. Since the operation she has not had any sensation
in her top lip, she cannot feel it or move it, ie. When she smiles the upper
lip does not move. The rest of her face is unaffected. She still has
swelling around her nose and eyes.
What is the cause of the lack of sensation in the upper lip?
Could it be due to nerve damage?
How could nerve damage occur in such an operation?
If it is not nerve damage what could the cause of this be?
If it is nerve damage what are the chances of recovery?
If it is something other than nerve damage what are the chances of recovery?
Could this be a temporary problem?
She is extremely worried and unable to see her surgeon for several days.
Please help.
