I got rhinoplasty 5 days ago, when i woke from the anaesthetic I felt quite well not too much swelling or pain and I got home quickly. After the first day I realised I have stitches in my upper mouth/gum I recall the surgeon explaining the surgery to me but I was still under the influence of anaesthetic and cant remember it all. It also hurts real bad when I laugh and when I smile only my left side lip curls up is this normal will I get my smile back?
