12 Days Too Soon to Judge Revision Rhinoplasty?

Is 12 days to soon to be expecting a positive result from my 3rd revision surgery? My doctor says that I don't have much room under my nose to be able to lift it, therefore, gravity causes my nose to hook downwards. He inserted a foreign object (looks like a thin bit of bendy wire) to try and help it become straight. Is it too soon to judge results - 12 days?

Rhinoplasty results take about 6 months to a year to see.  There is a lot of swelling and stiffness that take time to resolve.
