Is this a septum hematoma after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Elpierro0104
It's been been 10 days since I had my rhinoplasty and both sides wall of my septum are very swollen. It does not hurt. However, I can barely breath out but I can absolutely not breath in. Is this normal? Is this a case of septum hematoma?
