11 Days Post Op- Nose from the Front is SO SWOLLEN I'm Confused on What the Final Shape Will Be? (photo)

Hi. I like my nose from the side, it's exactly what my PS and I discussed. But from the front I can hardly bear even looking at it in pictures or the mirror it looks so wide, huge, and bulbous like my old nose. :( I can't tell the shape underneath or what the future holds. Is this mainly swelling? We did alot of tip work, but when will I see a more accurate representation of my new nose from the front.. Or is this it? Updated: ALSO- He removed a dorsal hump and it was also a septo-rhino from a prior soccer injury. He said he reshaped my cartlidge on the tip to also go to my nostrils as they were hallow before.
