My Nose Looks Unusual After Septoplasty, like a Pig Snout. Will This Last Forever?

Jen41117
I had septoplasty 4 days ago---my splints removed this morning.My nose is still quite swollen; however my bigger concern is that my nostrils and tip of my nose is upturned...like a snout. I am really upset and scared of my appearance. What should I expect of the swelling and my appearance moving forward?
