I am currently 5 weeks post op on an OPEN primary rhinoplasty. I cannot purse my lips together as if to apply lipstick 'cos the upper lip is very tight. I also feel like my upper lip (where columella meets lip) looks swollen. Is this possible and normal? When should I expect this to resolve itself?
