Can a rhinoplasty cause nerve damage that permanently changes your smile?

Asked By:HappyEmoji in Los Angeles, CA

I've been reading about this in the Q&A section on here and trying to do research before opting to have a tip rhinoplasty. I'm wondering how common nerve damage to the upper lip is + how long an impacted lip/smile lasts + if it is ever permanent, or just a temporary side effect of the surgery. Thanks for the responses!
