I was injured 7 weeks ago playing hockey. I needed 11 stitches to repair a deep cut on my upper lip (a direct hit by a puck) . The stitches were removed about 8 days after. One tooth had to be repositioned, others are still sensitive (I was wearing a mouth guard). The swelling on the upper lip has decreased. However, the lip stills swells (flairs) up frequently. The whole area still feels uncomfortable. I have been careful with what and how I eat. I am a 61 year old, non smoking male who is very active. I am usually a quick healer. How long will it take before everything starts feeling (looking) normal again? Thank You.
