Does massage help "wake up" muscles or nerves after chin implant and cervicoplasty?

Fillerjunkie
I had a chin implant and cervicoplasty 4 weeks ago. At first my smile was hideous but now it's better, but not back to normal. My right side bottom lip stays higher than my left side when I smile. Also, when I talk, words that have c, d, s, t, or z make my mouth look weird. I go back to the doc in 3 weeks but until then, is there anything I can do to engage the muscle/nerve that causes this droop. Would massaging my neck help wake up the muscles/nerves that cause this weirdness?
