I'm 9 days post op, and the space between my eyes seems further apart after rhinoplasty. Is this swelling?

Hi, I am currently 9 days post op and just had my cast taken off 2 days ago. I know a majority of people complain about nose swelling at this stage, but my eyes appear different after surgery. They now appear very wide set and almost hooded, pre-surgery the inner corners of my eyes were visible but and they were almond shaped, now the inner corners are hidden by a fold of skin and they appear smaller, is this just swelling? is it loose skin that hasn't tightened back? I'm very worried!
