Is it normal for my nose to look this big after rhinoplasty surgery? 3 days post-op. (Photos)

Swelling after rhinoplasty can be impressive. You're going to have to be patient with your nose. I tell my patients that at 1 week after surgery your nose is still extremely swollen, but the rest of the world won't be able to to tell that you had surgery. For the final result for your nose, a year must pass for all the swelling to go down. There are other certain nuances that are helpful in counseling you on expected recovery such as open or closed and what all was done. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb Jr. 

Thank you for your question. 
With any nasal surgery, the name of the game is patience. At one week, we would expect you to have quite a bit of swelling and bruising still noticeable and may have trouble breathing out of one or both nostrils. By the end of two weeks, typically, you will still be swollen but look more like you have a bad cold, rather than post surgical. Swelling can take up to a year to be completely gone, however, by 9 weeks you will look very good and should see big difference from your pre-op pics.
