I'm 4 and a half months post-op and my facial nerve seems to be coming back. My smile is pretty much symetrical when my mouth is closed. This is such a vast improvement. With the recent eye surgery, my face appears almost perfect at first glance. My big toothy smile is still messed up, but it will come back in time. As my daughter says, I'd make a good pirate on Halloween. When I smile big, I look like a pirate saying 'arghh'. I think I'll take advantage of it while I can...lol

Congrats!!! I am a Newbie also, 3 months out. It is wonderful to hear positive news. I hope that you keep progressing. I spoke with a friend today that had his acoustic tumor removed about 5-6 months ago (middle fossa) and he is starting to see improvements also. Good news is always good to hear!! Keep Smiling.

Did you ever have gum swelling and pain in the gums/ upper jaw area?

Sorry, no gum pain. Maybe someone else out here can help you.
