Is Ocassional Swelling, Nose Looking Plumped Up a Little, Especially in the Mornings Normal 2 Years Post Minor Revision?

I am two years post minor revision of the lower cartilage of the nose. When i wake up in the morning my nose is plumped out, a little bigger. Same happens when its hot or warm. And sometimes stays plumped out throughout most the day and shirnks again, becomes quite smaller. Is this normal for everyone?or does sthis happen to patients after having surgery?I am two years post op so I find it very strange. it does not bother me, as my nose looks better and much more even when it is swelled
