I had a septorhinoplasty and alar base reduction about a month and a half ago. Did it change my smile permanently? (Photos)

My gums used to show when I would smile and now they don't and my smile looks very forced. Is this permanent and is there a way to fix this? I don't feel comfortable smiling with my teeth anymore. The alar base reduction was without my consent or knowledge. Could the alar base reduction be to blame? I also feel pain in the middle of my bridge when I smile with my teeth.
