How Much Will Swelling Continue to Go Down 5 Weeks After Revision Rhinoplasty?

2658anon
I had secondary Rhinoplasty 5 weeks ago and my tip and lower 40% of nose is still VERY swollen. My surgery took over three hours and my surgeon had to use ear cartilage and fascia to rebuild a pinched tip so I know that the surgery was pretty major. Most people who don't know I had surgery would not neccessarily notice the swelling unless I point it out but once I do it is definitely noticable. The shape itself looks pretty good but I am far from satisfied with it unless it still goes down a lot. Is this normal?
