So I had a 'blister' in my lower lip for a month or so. Saw the doc, was referred to an Ear, nose and throat specialist. He confirmed my reoccuring blister was a mucocele. Scheduled removal for Oct. 3, Dr. applied local anesthetic, gave me a shot, cut the mucocele off, cauterized 4-6 times, put two 'mattress stitches' in and said it all went well. Take tylenol as needed.
Monday the 6th I called to report quite a bit of swelling and numbness and they said that's normal for 7-10 days.
Well, today is 10 days, the swelling is mostly gone, but my lip is still numb and there is still a hole in part of the incision. It still hurts to eat sometimes and to brush my teeth. Is this normal at all, did the Dr. screw up? I've called the Dr's office again today to ask because my follow up appt. isn't for another week. I haven't heard from them yet?
I can post pictures later today probably.
Thanks
