Upper Lip Lift 14 days ago - will my nostrils return to normal or stay huge and distorted like this? (Photos)

Samira_McGovern
I had an upper lip lift (with upper eyelid lift and cheek fat transfer) 14 days ago. My nostrils are very wide open, and the edge of the L nostril is distorted at edge/ base. Is this due to swelling in the nasal tip, or is this permanent distortion? There is also some puckering of skin on RHS that is become obvious as swelling goes, will this flatten out by itself same as LHS? When will most of swelling be gone, eg 85% of final result?Really worried about this all .
