Alarplasty and tip plasty combined- recovery time? Is this still swelling?

hanifa26
hello doctors, i had a tip surgery and alarplasty surgery approximately 1.5 months ago, coming upto 7 weeks now. at first after removal of the bandage/cover on my nose, the tip and nostrils looked really good. they looked smaller, and my tip looked a little longer and alittle more defined. however, as time has passed, the swelling has reduced in my tip, it looks as if it is getting flatter and my nostrils are looking wider then presurgery. is this still swelling? my doc says so. p.s im asianskin
