Hi, I had a septoplasty and open rhinoplasty 26 days ago and my face is still very stiff and every time I attempt to smile, I feel a stretching sensation in my nose and face. Also my upper lip does not elevate when I smile and my smile looks very awkward. I had a droopy tip when I smiled so I was worrying if my muscles were removed and my smile will never be the same.
