Swelling Between the Eyes 3 Months After Rhinoplasty

shar-bric
It's been about 3 months since I've had my rhinoplasty, and the radix (from what I've read the radix is the nasal bone right between my eyes) seems wider than what it was before. The point of my surgery was to get that part of my nose thinned out. It seems to me that the swelling isn't there, because when a bit of pressure is applied, I think I feel the nasal bone, rather than any swollen tissue. How long does that swelling last? Is it the bone I'm feeling, or hardened tissue? Feedback, please..
