Is it possible for rhinoplasty swelling to be permanent?

kittybooo
Just wondering if it's possible for swelling/puffiness to stay permanently post op? I was reading around and one doctor said the thicker the skin and the bigger the procedure was (bigger nose to small nose post op), the most likely the "puffiness" will remain? Does this mean that the puffy feeling/swelling will always feel like this even after one year? or does it just stay longer for it to wrap around the bone and thin out a bit? basically is there such thing as permanent swelling/puffiness?
