Will my Nose Fill out Permanantly After the Cast?

I am 6 days Rhinoplasty post-op. I had the hump removed, nose straightened, narrowed and pinched slightly at bottom. I had the cast taken off and re applied today and the doctor let me see my nose in-between procedures. I was taken aback by how narrow it looked! I asked him if it would fill out and he said yes. However, I am not sure if he meant about the swelling that will occur, or fill out for good when he takes cast off for good. Please help, I'm confused. I don't want to look like Latoya Jackson.
