Bad Nose Results 3 Months After Surgery, I Don't See Any Change, What Do You Think (photo)?

The doctor after surgery take some pics of my nose to show me the result after the swelling gows down but 3 months after my nose doesn't look close to this at all. Espesially the tip area. Tip still is looking very low like no change was done. And from the front view is squared and fat? Could this be caused from persistant swelling? Will my tip going to get raised and smaller?

Rhinoplasty results at 3 months

My first question is whether the first picture is after or before the surgical procedure? If after than I would like to know what your nose looked like before and your anticipated goals of the surgery. Realize there is still significant swelling at 3 months and in the tip area may last up to a year. I routinely image my patients prior to surgery to help them to appreciate the goals of surgery. That puts us both on the same playing field. I feel you still have a hint... more

My nose before surgery was a little more hump and downwards than in second picture.The first picture is right after the nose surgery was done and before doctor wrapps my nose. He told me that this is how its going to look like after all the swelling has gone (after 9 months). I discussed it with him and he tells me to be patient because still there is still swelling on the tip. But is there any chance to look like the first pic? 3months passed already and no significant changes was done. I am afraid that he doesnt wan6t to admit that the result gone bad.
