Confused About Rhinoplasty Results

Im kind of confused to what my surgeon did. I had a bump that i wanted to be shaven down and the tip just needed to be lifted a little. Right now i feel the tip is too high up and my nose looks taller than it was. the bump is gone but i feel it looks to much like a nose job.he said somthing about adding a skin graft to the top to make it appear nice and straight but does this mean my nose will remain tall? i no theres some swelling but even if that goes down it seems taller than it was.

Rhinoplasty results take ! year.

It takes 1 year for the swelling to go down. If it has been more than 1 year see what your surgeon wants to do. If you are dissatisfied get a second opinion from an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.
