Swelling after closed cartilage tying

It's the 4th day since I had the closed nose tip cartilage tied on Saturday.
 Looking at the reviews, they say there's almost no swelling, but I wonder
 if my columella is swollen or if my nose looks longer.
 I wonder if it's swelling or it'll just look like this... Should
 I just try the tip of the nose first and set back? They asked me to think about
 whether to have surgery to raise the columella,
 and it's the size of the tip of my nose.... If I don't do this and just tie the tip of my nose, will the columella look lower?
 When you touch it, the columella is very tingling, and when you look at it from below, the nostrils
 are even.....
