why can't i get aroused after oral surgery?

Question

Generall y hoe much does it cost to get an oral and maxillofacial surgery done ?

Answer 1

Sex after surgery: Sex is a high function of the human brain. When the body has been traumatized, like with surgery, the body preserves energy for healing. Your libido will return soon enough.

Answer 2

Oral surgery: Unless you just recently had the surgery and the anesthesia is still hanging around, you shouldn't have a problem with arousal. Or maybe your are taking some post operative meds that have this as a side effect. Really non of these I can think of, but possible. If your are many days after your surgery I would consult your physician for your problem. Oral surgery causing your problem is not likely

Answer 3

Normal: Normal for a shot time after surgery. Should return to normal soon.

Answer 4

What type ?: Not sure if you meant to say orthodontic oral surgery or orthognathic surgery ? Since there are many different types you need to clarify the question.

Answer 5

Long discussion: This really depends greatly on the kind of surgery you are referring to. Having a lefort osteotomy and a bsso are very different from having a couple of premolars removed. Talk with your orthodontist and/or the oral surgeon performing the procedure about the specifics.

Answer 6

Depends: There are several types of oral surgical procedures for orthodontic issues. The expectaions are different for ach procedure. The procedures can range from a simplane extraction or exposure of an impacted tooth all the way to orthognathic corrective jaw surgery.

Answer 7

Team Effort: Your orthodontist and your oral and maxillofacial surgeon will work as a team to make sure you understand how long the procedure will take, if there is a great deal of pain involved, ( my patients say no), and how much everything will cost and a good idea of what you will look like after it is over.

Answer 8

Teamwork: For adults with both teeth and jaws that don't match, both Orthodontic Treatment and Orthognathic Surgery provide the best result. Ask your Dentist to recommend the Orthodontic Specialist in your area that is the most experienced resolving adult malocclusions, and the Orthodontist will then recommend the Oral Surgeon that works best with his team.
