Congratulations!: Swelling of the surgical sites are normal postoperatively. The nasal tip may stay swollen for up to a year, the chin swelling and any bruising should usually go away in a few weeks. By 5 months you should be looking great!

Better every day: By 3 weeks a lot of swelling will resolve, 3 months things will look more natural and by a year healing should be resolved. See your surgeon if you have any concerns!
