Does Swelling Usually Increase After the Nose Splint is Removed?

Jacinta
Hi, I have just had my splint removed after a revisional rhinoplasty. I was very happy with the definition in my nose this time. It is two days later and that seems to have gone and I am not as happy with how it looks now. Could it be that the swelling has increased after the splint was removed and will it go back to the way it looked at first? Thanks.
