Can the Depressor Septi Muscle be re-attached at all or is there anything I can do to stop the crease forming in my lip?

Asked By:Jem05 in Leeds, GB

I had Rhinoplasty & my surgeon suggested cutting the Depressor Septi Muscle. All he said was it will stop the tip of my nose from pulling down so I thought it was a good idea. Unfortunately what he didn’t explain was that it could change my smile!! it now feels strange when I smile & I have a long crease line on my top lip now when I smile that wasn’t there before. Is there anything that can be done to reverse this at all in anyway even slightly to stop the crease from forming? Thank you
