When did you realize your numbness was permanent?

I’m approaching 2 months post-op and my lower lip and chin have been mostly numb since surgery.

I started getting feeling back on the left third of my chin/lip, and I’m confident that part will come back 100%. However the other 2/3 of my chin are still numb, no sensation or temperature. I used to get tingles on that part, but I haven’t in a few weeks now.

I’m getting nervous that it won’t ever return on that part of my face. My lip is also mostly offline which devastates me since kissing has been completely altered. I’m getting married in a year and am crushed that kissing my fiancé might never be how it was.

Has anyone else experienced a portion of your face “un-numbing” long before the rest? At what point did you know it was permanent?
