My cheeks and nose sag a lot when i bend over or when i am lying on my back, i am 30 years old and it has been like this since i was about 16. I don't think it has anything to do with heredity because non of my parents or even my grandparents had this issue. I heard that it could be because of upper respiratory tract infections, i have suffered a lot of infections in my tonsils and still get inflammation in my tonsils, i also have cold very frequently and have a dust allergy.

After 5 months, you can experience some tightness but muscle spasms are unlikely due to your surgery at this point. If things are improving, I would recommend time rather than drugs. If they are not improving, I would recommend an evaluation for TMJ issues.
This is normal.the degree of swelling and firmness will vary from patient to patient.This will resolve with time and heat and gentle massage may help it resolve quicker.
Yes, the lip does raise up when you pull up the tip of the nose. SOme patients have what is called a tension tip when they have a large nasal hump and the tip pulls on the lip. In general with rhinoplasty, raising the tip does not work the same way as pushing it up with your finger.
