Most of the post surgical inflammation should have settled by now, however know that in some cases, it may take up to three months to clear completely. The lack of sensation in your lip may indicate a "bruise" to the sensory nerves in that area that may take up to six weeks to resolve. I would be concerned about a nerve disruption if the numbness does not improve in 2 more weeks. The smile should get better as the muscles recover further. I suggest you ask your surgeon for his reassurance to put your mind at ease...worrying only drains your energy and may "attract" unnecessary stress.
