Bottom lip will not move down after submental lipo - what should I do? (Photos)

ErininTexas
Five days out from submental lipo performed by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Procedure was performed in office with local anesthetic. I'm concerned about the lack of mobility in my lower lip - I can't move my lower lip down at all. My surgeon says that he's not seen this before (he's seen asymmetrical smiles that resolved when the nerve was stretched etc. but not what I have). He said to give it time and let the general trauma to the area subside. Help please?
