Septoplasty: Q&A

Did my Septorhinoplasty Change the Appearance of my Lips?
I got a septorhino 5 days ago to fix my deviated septum (along with adding a spreader graft on one side) and to BARELY tone down the bridge of my nose. I have read posts about appearance of lips changing after rhinoplasties, as in the top lip sometimes looks longer and thinner. Will this happen to me? My tip was NOT touched, only the septum and bridge. However, I really do not want this to change my lips or make them look longer/thinner. The cast is still on so I cannot tell as of now. Will it???
