Do you lose your upper lip after having an upper bridge on four front teeth?

nurseinpeds1
I am devastated because i had four upper bridge done 6 days ago. I talk with a slight lisp, my upper lip looks almost non existing, my teeth look so much smaller then my permanent teeth, and it is so obvious that people who know nothing are asking me what is wrong with my teeth. Is this the result of all bridge work? If so, I was never told of these side effects and I would never had it done because teeth are the first thing people see. My temporary bridge was not obvious. please help me!
