Asked By:aesthetics93 in Ottawa, ON

It has been 2 months since my surgery and although things are looking ok , so far so good, just dealing with uneven swelling I am now having another difficult problem causing tons of anxiety which hold me from being in public. I CAN NOT SMILE AT ALL OR EVEN SMIRK IF I TRIED ! :( I am almost forcing my self to smirk, NO UPPER TEETH show at all, lots of tightness around face and has not improved. I had a columella lift instead of a tip lift... Will things ever change? Will my smile return? Thanks!
