I just got most of my top teeth grafted with alloderm grafts 3 days ago. I have been following all of the periodontist's instructions and taking all meds and vitamins. I have been putting ice packs on my face all day, everyday and have been spending most of my time on the couch. I guess I expected that the swelling would be greatly reduced by now and I would be concentrating mostly on eating soft foods and not doing anything strenuous. My face still looks very bloated and I can barely open my mouth, making it only possible to eat foods like applesauce that require no chewing at all. Is this normal? When can I expect to look like myself again? I certainly don't want to hinder any recovery by doing normal activities before it's safe to, but when can I expect to be able to clean the house, go shopping, go back to my teaching job, etc.?
