I liked my nose better when it was taped. Will it return to that shape again? (Photo)

I am 11 days post op! I know that my nose is still swollen and that it can take up to a year to have the final result! But I loved my nose when it was taped. After they took the tape off I have a little bump and my nose looked bigger!!! Will it go back to how it was when it was taped, once the swelling goes down? I read that people experienced swelling after tape removal! Could that be it?! Will the bump be visibal as it is now? Pics before, 5 days post op and today! Thank you for your answers!
