Will my nose significantly shrink after rhinoplasty, especially the bone in the root area? (photo)

vvvb
I took my cast off 5 days ago.I didn't have big issues with my nose, just strong bone in the root. The doctor said he made the nose REALLY small,but as seen now he just made it a bit more concave.The root bone is still really strong & I was specific I wanted it broken down.I attached a photo with the nose now (right) & nose I wanted/asked for (left).Is there a chance it will shrink down to that size? Especially the bone area,how much can the bone be swollen after the surgery anyway?
