Post-op jaw surgery: The surgery produces soreness in the muscles, jaw, as well as the lips, nose and other areas of the face, it can be difficult eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. The pain will usually disappear within 2 to 3 weeks. Remember, postsurgical progress is sometimes uncomfortable, and may occur slowly. Follow the instructions given to you by your surgeon. Take care.
