Is the tightness sensation in my nose tip due to pressure (swelling) or is my skin trying to contract?

I'm 3 weeks post op & my revision rhinoplasty involved a tip deprojection. He did a lot of work to my tip especially. The surgery took 3.5 hours. He also narrowed my bridge but I can't tell yet. Today I'm noticing an uncomfortableness when I smile because it feels like my skin is pulling as though it's tight around my tip. Even when I don't smile, I'm feeling a tight, tingling sensation & some sort of pressure on my whole nose. Just trying to pinpoint what's going on. Thanks!
