Ball-like Nose Tip After Septoplasty

gisele
I had a nose job, a septoplasty, with my nose narrowed and the tip refined. While the nose appears to be smaller, the tip is ball-like, and from the side view, it juts out. Could this be because of the general swelling of the nose? How much smaller could the "ball" look once the swelling has gone down?
