Hi , I had alar stitch 8 weeks ago. 1 week ago I was prescribed oral steroids as my top lip was inflammed . It's helped somewhat but the area is extremely tight. I cannot smile properly my lip looks lower and my smile looks forced it almost hurts and looks like a grimace . I'm in distress my surgeon said my smile wouldn't be affected. I don't trust him he's on Holiday while I'm a mess what should I do kind regards .
