A member asked:
How can permanent lip numbness after jaw surgery impact aspects of daily life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numb lip: Usually a numb lip from lower jaw surgery. You may bite your lip since you can't feel it. Food/liquids may dribble down your chin since you can't feel the food/liquids. Sometimes articulation problems.
