Rhinoplasty, chin implant, Lipo 3 days ago & I noticed I was unable to smile? Top lip trembled as I forced smile for pic (Photo)

Question

Is it because of nose with tightness or is it the chin? Or both? I had botox done a few months ago in my frown lines, could that be a factor as well? Extremely anxious, never considered my smile would be compromised. Front teeth completely covered by top lip.Please help,trying to stay calm, just need some professional advice. Thanku

This is common after these procedures.  It will likely settle over the next month.  I hope this helps reduce your anxiety.  See your surgeon to review your concerns.

This can be due to swelling, which will slowly resolve over the next several months. I recommend following up with your Doctor about your concerns. I hope this helps.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

For the amount of surgery you should NOT be able to smile yet because of swelling. Best to see your surgeon to have him/her explain the phases of healing to you in detail..
