Removed cast after rhinoplasty and eyes appear to have been "pulled" closer together. Is it due to swelling?

xosj
I had an Asian rhinoplasty a week ago (tip augmentation, bridge augmentation with DCF graft, alar base reduction). When the cast came off today, my eyes looked like they had been pulled/stretched towards the bridge. So now the length of my eyes is longer, but my eyes also appear to be much closer together and it looks really odd. I was wondering if this is due to swelling (and my eyes will return to their normal length and position), or is this permanent?
