Bottom Lip Too High 3 Weeks Post-Op Chin Implant, Is It Swelling? (photo)

I am 3 weeks post-op chin implant. I still have the inability to move my left lower lip down but I know from other answers it takes time for the nerve to heal, however, I have a new concern. Even on the right side, which moves fine, my lip is up too high when I smile. It comes halfway up my top teeth and you used to be able to see all of my top teeth before. Is that from swelling? Will my bottom lip move down more as it heals? Will my smile go back to what it was? I had a beautiful smile.
