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

Yostina
Hello! Today is day 17 post-op and my nose is just the same bulbous nose that I had. I’m very disappointed and depressed at this point and I feel like nothing will change. When I asked my doctor if this round tip will go with time he said he doesn’t know because it depends on how my body responds. His answer made me even more depressed. My skin is thick oily and I know the swelling tends to be prolonged in this case, but why isn’t there any change at all in the shape of my nose? What do you think?
