Why do I still have a bump on my nose after rhinoplasty?

cem2468
I'm 2 weeks post op, 1 week post cast off. The day my cast came off I still had a bump on my nose which my surgeon explained was swelling, and it has gone down alot since then. But i cannot help but notice it's just stopped! I wanted a "slope" effect and the tiny bump makes me so angry because i feel there's not even much difference! Can someone please tell me the average time for this to disappear, maybe in another 2 weeks? Thank you!
