Is it common 10 days after my septoplasty/turbinate modification my nose is wider than before? Is this swelling? (photos)

I had a Septoplasty with open reduction nasal fracture and spreader grafts as well as turbinate modification due to a deviated septum accident happened last year. 10 days after surgery I’ve noticed the bridge of my nose is much wider and larger in general. Even tho Septoplasty is done internally would this still be due to swelling? Will it eventually thin down or are those due to spreader grafts that were placed? 2 Pictures each before breaking/after break/ after surgery included
