I have been searching high and low to find a doctor that could help me.
A
> doctor in Clayton told me that I would probably need a plastic surgeon
to help
> me. About two years ago, I was bit in the top lip. It tore my midline
in
> half, but in just two days it felt as good as new. Then about five
months ago
> the midline attached to my gums got tore in an accident. The ER said
that
> they don't suture in the mouth, so I waited it out like the last time
hoping
> it would heal right. It obviously didn't and I have lost most
sensation in
> that area. I don't even feel like I am using the right muscles when I
chew.
> I feel fatigued around my mouth just from laughing or smiling. And now
I feel
> a difference in breathing. I recently saw a doctor in Clovis who
advised me
> to wait a year. Honestly, I felt more sensation/nerves a month after it
> happened than I do now. We all know our own body best and I feel that
any
> more waiting will only make it harder to correct. Even the definition
in my
> lip is practically gone. If you can please help me or refer me to
someone who
> can I would truly appreciate it. If you need more info.
