Max, well, I had this surgery too and my smile were pretty strange for about 40 days after the surgery. Then It came completely back to normal.
I must confessed that I almost freak out when I looked in the mirror and saw my mouth dumb, I was MAD because the doctor didn�t told me it was going to happen. And when I asked he told me there�s a little risk to not recoved. However, It was 100% recovered.
Then I bet you�ll feel the same.
I lost the "sensitivity" in a small part under my mandible. But it does not bothers me at all. And the doc saids it keep improving until ONE YEAR after the surgery.
Yesterday I complete 10 months post surgery and everything is fine.
Keep us posted!
love
