1.5 days post-op nose fillers, is this swelling? (photos)

Question

I had nose filler done (restylane) 1.5 days ago, for a tiny hump fix and tip lift. The side view i like, but the front view, I absolutely hate it, it made my ugly nose uglier !! Question is does it look like swelling or is this the final look. Day of fillers (Friday) the tip of my nose became a huge ball and as of today (Sunday) it has gone down alot, but still looks a little swollen or at least im hoping it is!! If not swollen im praying these next 2 weeks go by fast so i can dissolve it !!

Based on your photos, you appear to have thin nasal skin. A profile photo would be interesting to see the amount of nasal tip projection that was achieved. You certainly had a significant change on the front view of your nasal tip. Please consider making a follow up visit with your doctor so that you can discuss what might be best for you moving forward. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hi there!
Thank you for your question. So soon after treatment, what you describe is more than likely swelling which can last up to 2 weeks. My advice would be to be patient while the swelling goes down and if you are still unhappy with results after 2 weeks you can book a review with your practitioner.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes
Dr. Rupert

I think that you are still swollen to some degree and that it will improve with time to some degree. However, I think that you would likely be better served with a regular rhinoplasty. I recommend that you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for best results.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can last 1-2 weeks after filler injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It appears to be swelling as it is only 1.5 day since your injection.  And Restylane tends to swell more you manipulate and massage the area that is injected.  
I would wait longer to see if the swelling goes down more.   Like you said, after 2 weeks, if it is still swollen, you can dissolve it.
