Face still swollen after jaw sergery
I had upper jaw sergery and chin reduction two and 1/2 months ago,I still have swelling On cheeks the left side is more swollen than the right I don't no if something is wrong cuz it's not evenly swollen n was also thinking all swelling would be gone already and there's also still some tenderness and pain. Is it normal for this to take this long. I figured I'd be all healed up by now. I did the sergery to look better n now I look like a chimpmunck. It's very upsetting

Usually after surgery you can expect swelling to be there which gradually subsides with time.
If you think that's it's persistent despite treatment for adequate period of time then you should consult your surgeon and follow their advise.
