16 days post op, and nose looks ok but nothing like computer projected "after", is it just swelling? (photos)

Asked By:KSJayhawk

Hello Dr's, and thank you for your time. I know it's early. I know it takes months to years to see final results. However, I can't imagine it'll improve enough to get close to the "after" photo my PS did during the consult. While I don't hate my result right now, I wish it was closer to what we agreed upon. The columella is wide, and it generally looks just so different. Thoughts? Just swelling?
