I had rhinoplasty, a chin implant and lipo 9 weeks ago and I've noticed my smile and mouth change a lot since the surgery. It now feels very forced and unnatural, and my lips cover my teeth much more than they did before. I've lost a lot of mobility in my lips and my smile is more narrow than before. I know this can be normal and my nose bridge and chin still feel stiff when I try to move them by frowning. But I'm 9 weeks post surgery and I feel like I look unnatural every time I talk and smile.
