Jacob, 18, showed the camera where the bullet entered his face prior to going under the knife.
After surgery, he could be seen with a bandage on the wound while recovering in the hospital.
"Jacob had his surgery on Thursday to remove the bullet," David exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "A significant amount of tissue was damaged. He will never be able to fully open his mouth all the way. A lot of scar tissue had to be cleaned to remove the bullet. There is a lot of deep-tissue scarring."
Jacob began suffering from complications days after the surgery. "He's going back into surgery on Tuesday," he said. "They need to put a drain in for the impacted gland to heal. He was in a lot of pain this weekend. It's worse than we thought."
