Will Bulbous Nose After Pregnancy Return to Normal?

Lilywoo
I have had 2 children in the past 3 years and my nose has become bigger and wider with each pregnancy. It has been now almost a year and a half after my last child was born and my nose has not yet returned to normal.It is still wider, more bulbous and now has a bifid tip. Is this common? Will my nose ever go back to normal or will I have to resort to Rhinoplasty?
