Nose is fatter and wider after Rhinoplasty than I would like. Will it stay this way? (photos)

Asked By:LanaPMK in London, GB

I am one week and 3 days post-op from rhinoplasty. I had my cast removed 3 days ago and my nose is a lot wider and fatter than what it used to be. I know it is swollen but the bridge seems wider. Also I like the tip from the profile but from the front looks bulbous and wide not lifted at all (when it is supposed to be). I am happy with my profile as compared to what it used to be, but the front view is very fat and wide and extremely unflattering. I don't want to be seen. Please help!
