How can I tell if my nose is still swollen or if this is the final shape? (photos)

Zach101
I know these pictures are at different angles and can cause size to look different, but they're both slightly from the side. I had a large hump removed from my nose. One is a week post op where I was happy and it looked very small. The other is almost 2 months, where it looks like it dropped and looks rounder almost bigger at the tip and just in general. Is the due to swelling? I don't get why right after surgery it felt small and great, and now it feels bigger and more bulby almost
