Is This Supratip and Tip Swelling? (Photo)

I have provided more detail here to show you what i believe is substantial swelling of the supratip and tip. I would like the tip area to match the straight profile of the bridge that has been achieved but the swelling seems to make my nose appear bulbous and rounded from the side view. This rounded tip was something i wanted to avoid. Realistically how much will this swelling subside and will it match the desired result (see pic)? Swelling is getting worse around this area as time goes on.
