Should I exercise lip muscles after Rhinoplasty?

phillipmp123
I had a rib graft rhinoplasty 14 days ago. They removed a scar on the philtrum I had from a cleft lip, did a maxillary labial frenuloplasty, and a lip fat graft. I'm worried about my smile because my lip hangs lower and covers my top teeth. There's a stiffness under my nose that I have to fight in order to smile. I've been stretching it as much as possible to try to loosen it. Should I continue? Will it ever not feel stiff anymore? It seems structural and I'm worried I'll always feel it.
