You look great and swelling of the tip after open rhinoplasty can last for up to 18 months. Relax and watch the healing take place.

Robert M. Freund, MD answers: Nose looks more bulbous and round after Rhinoplasty
I had an open rhinoplasty three weeks ago, and I'm concerned about the current results. My goal for the surgery was to remove the side and front humps around my eyes and raise the tip. While I'm very satisfied with my new profile, and the bone is much slimmer around my eyes, the bottom 2/3 of my nose seems much more bulbous, and my tip appears way rounder (maybe kind of droopy too) than even before the surgery. Can I expect this to adjust with time? Is this still swelling? I don't regret having had it done, but I just hate that after all this, I still feel self conscious about my nose. Thanks!

If your profile and dorsum look better, than that is great. The lower third of the nose always takes a long time to settle down. This can take months. Give it time. In all likelihood it will look better over the next few months.
