Still have a dorsal hump on my nose 3 weeks after surgery. Will a procedure to remove this hump produce major swelling again?

I still have a dorsal hump on my nose after my primary closed rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago. Will I have to pay for a revision and will this produce major swelling on my nasal tip and nose again? Is it normal to remove the hump with filing and minimal swelling?
