I'm 7 days post rhinoplasty & 1 day post cast removal. My nostrils seem pulled up. They are bigger & more exposed than they were prior to surgery. In the prediction images my surgeon gave me, my nostril size did not change. Is it the swelling that is causing them to look like this?

Will this change as swelling decreases or is this permanent?
