Hi Jason,
Well I am glad that you went back to the OS and had that surgical site cleaned out. Hopefully it will heal well. I would have it checked again in a week or two.
I'm glad she did not put you on steroids! There is no reason to do that... if the site is clean, the infection will subside.
So you're having orthognathic surgery? Is this due to an underbite or class III occlusion problem?

I feel much better today and do not have the nasty taste. We also talked about the loss of feeling in the left chin and sensitive lip on that side. She said normally she would put me on steroids but since I have the infection it would have to wait. Also since I'm having orthognatic surgery in the next 6-9 months she said I would probably suffer similar loss of feeling from that being I'm 31 years old.
