Why does my nose look the same after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

MrsA27
On the 12th of August I had an open rhinoplasty with alar base reduction. I've always been self-conscious of the bulbous tip of my nose, so I had the procedure done and my PS also filed the sides of the bridge of my nose down. I know it's only been 2 weeks, and I'm still swollen, but my nose looks exactly the same to me! My husband said he can see a difference, but I can't. I told my PS I wanted a definite change, not subtle. I've included a before and after picture for reference. Thank you!
