Lip Deformity After Lower Facelift. No Problems with Facial Movements, No Loss of Sensation, Whats Going On? Will It Recover?

K76
Hi, I have had lower facelift 15 days ago. The problem now is the disfigurement of lower lip, it goes too much on right side and becomes very lopsided. It doesnt look bad when i am not talking/eating but it becomes severly lopsided when i say certain words, like 'deformed, hope, want, do, not, no etc' or eat or lick the finger etc. it looks very bad, my face seems asymmetrical as well, with right side seems more firmer than the left side. doctor said there is no nerve damage?
