First and foremost, be sure to talk to your surgeon about the swelling and size. After all, only he or she has examined you and can give you a better idea of what to expect in your particular situation.
That said, two weeks post-op is still very early in the healing period. Particularly if a patient has thick skin or is simply prone to swelling (everyone's different), the final contour will take a long time to appear.
As a general rule of thumb, I tell my patients that on average 60% of the swelling will resolve by six weeks, 85-90% by three months, and final contour by one year (longer for thick skin, longer for more aggressive changes to the nasal proportions, etc.). Even still, there is quite a broad range across individuals, but the point is that it takes time.
