I can't smack my lips after rhinoplasty, is this normal?

I'm at about a couple weeks post op. Top lip looks swollen but it's not numb. I'm worried that I can't smack my lips. When I try to pull my top lip down it feels stretched and doesn't want to come down. Will I eventually be able to smack my lips? I had tip work done, my nose slightly shortened but my muscle in my top lip was not cut.
