I am 6 weeks after face lift surgery. My smile is crooked. (photos)

One side of the mouth is pulling down. My surgeon says it will return to normal, but one side is definitely very different from the other, and feels much more numb. It feels as if an elastic band had snapped on the inside. Will this return to normal, really? I have seen no improvement at all yet.
