Post Rhinoplasty: Swelling Has Gone but Tip of Nose is Still Big

bucks
I am a UK 39 Yrs old man and just had open rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. All my swelling seems to have gone, but the tip/bottom half of nose is round and fat and doesn't seem to match the top half. The tip feels a little stiff/stingly and all the posts say the the tip is swollen the longest. Is this the case after all the other swelling has gone. If so does the tip change quite a bit once the swelling has subsided or are these changes minute so you can't see them. I am so worried it won't, pls help?
