Weird smile 5 months after nose job (Photo)

marylandchick
I had a rhino/septoplasty five months ago and my smile still looks really weird and forced. Also, when I smile with my teeth, a crease above my lip forms (like in the picture I added) - this never happened before my nosejob. I've read online that this is a common side effect, but that it usually resolves itself within a couple of months - five months is a lot longer than that. Is there any chance my smile will completely go back to normal in time? This is really bothering me
