Is it normal for my nose to look shapeless and puffy 5 months post-op?

I'm happy with my results; now my nose is narrow and looks that way-in certain lighting- but in some lighting it appears huge and shapeless because my skin is still so puffy. You can't see the details or shadows anymore (ie how narrow the sides really are, and I once had two visible lines on the tip through my skin) now my nose tip is undefined and round. It's still hard but the sides (of the bridge) which were narrowed are squishy but you feel thick puffy skin. Is this normal still at 5 months?
