Prematurely freaking out about wide round nose 10 days after rhinoplasty? How do I 'mould' the shape post surgery? (Photo)

LSR_rhino
I had open rhinoplasty on my asymmetrical nose and bulbous tip 10 days ago. I was very swollen and my nose very wide right after surgery. (Is that normal?) While it has settled in my face I don't feel like my new nose is anywhere near what I wanted... A nice refined tip. I know there is swelling, but how much can the tip shape actually change as it goes down, will I get anything close to my goal? My surgeon said I should massage it to 'mould' it. How do I do that to get to my ideal? Help!
