Will my upper lip go back to normal after rhinoplasty/bone graft? I can't smile and it looks huge. (photo)

Asked By:Marie968 in Miami, FL

I had rhinoplasty done about ten days ago. I wanted more of a "swooped" appearance and my tip lifted. My surgeon did a "bone graft?", and recycled bone into my "philtrum?" area above my lip in order to raise my nose tip.. I love the results of my nose- but my upper lip looks weird.. it changes my whole facial appearance and I don't like it at all.. I also can't smile normally. Will my lip go back to normal? Or is that bone graft reversible? I didn't think it would make this big of a difference.
