Cant Smile, Drink with a Straw or Laugh Hard After Rhinoplasty, When Will I Be Able To?

HN1970
Hi, I had rhinoplasty nearly 7 weeks ago and I am still finding it difficult to smile, talk over expressively, laugh hard and drink through a straw. Drinking through the straw was very difficult as it felt like I was over pulling between my lip and nose. It hurt just a little, but was more uncomfortable. When am I likely to be able to those things? I'm a bit concerned.
