Swelling or Bone Misalignment After Nose Surgery?

want a cute nose
I had a Rhinoplasty with Tiplasty, Septoplasty, Turbinate reduction on March 25. I had a large dorsal hump which I hated. When the cast came off, my hump was perfectly flat and looked perfect. Since then (cast came off two weeks ago), the hump seems to be getting larger. Is this swelling or are the bones out of alignment? My 2-year-old knocked me in the nose once on April 8th and it hurt but not extremely painful. Could this have caused it? Should I tape the hump? I'll see my doctor in a week, but I'd like to know if anything can help now. Thank you.
