How long until I should be smiling normal after facial implants? (photos)

Boss1988
I had: Cheek implants Jaw implants Buccal fat removal SG 12mm Performed 3 weeks + 2 days ago. I can't smile at all. My upper lip can't seem to curl upwards at all (feels like the cheek implants are hindering it and in the way of my smile. And then my lower lip is paralyzed into a high position. I can't move it down at all (not even with my finger) I can't talk, smile, or eat. How long until I know something is wrong and should be revised (cheek implants taken out?) what r my options?
