Nose still swollen 15 months post septorhinoplasty, how long can it take to look normal?

Cool398084
Hello, I had a rhinoplasty and septoplasty done 15 months ago. My nose is still quite swollen and while the side view looks good, the front view looks even bigger than before I had the procedure. There have been a few rare days where the swelling seems to be less and I actually start to like it, but most days it is extremely bulbous and large. I do have thick skin, but realistically how long can it take to look normal? Thank you.
