Why can't I breathe through nose after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

I had open rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago, and while I'm aware it's early, I would like to know when I should be able to breathe at least a little bit? If I look up my nose, all the gunk is gone and it's clear, but the tissues are completely closed - I can see where the hole should be as a little slit/indent. My friends and others I know have had some of their airflow back at this point and I'm just a bit concerned. Thanks for your answers. Sorry photo doesn't show much
