Is 10 days post op too soon to judge a rhinoplasty result? I just got my splint off and I am beyond disappointed with what I see

I had an open rhinoplasty on September 19. I had a deviated septum fixed, a bone spur removed, and he was supposed to straighten and lower my bridge, remove the bump, and deproject and refine my tip. After getting the splint off today, 10 days later, I want to cry. I hate it. My tip looks as projected as before and is bulbous + huge and my bridge looks big too. The bump is gone but I feel like I look even worse than before. Is this just swelling??? Is it possible underneath this is a nice nose?
