Flared Large Nostrils After Rhinoplasty

aimee0715
I had rhinoplasty 9 weeks ago. A had a small hump shaved down, my nose bone broken so it would colapse down some, and cartiladge shaved down on the lower part of my nose (all around the tip) to make that area not as wide. I also had a slight perforation on one side of my nose that was repaired. Ever since the surgery my nostrils are so large, when I look inside of them it looks like they have almost flipped outward instead of having curves a nostril should have. Is this swelling??
