Is it normal my nose looks so big after rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Asked By:Farachaaa in Netherlands, NL

I had an closed rhinoplasty 12 days ago. The hump is removed and the nose is made narrower on both sides. The surgeon did not refine the nose tip anyway. From the side my nose looks perfect. But the front... my nose seems gigantic. Is this normal? Is it due to the swelling? How long would it take before it is gone? (I have a thick skin)
