Healing takes many months for rhinoplasty.

The amount of swelling I see in your nose is normal at two months after rhinoplasty and would encourage to be more patient.

Need more time in order to evaluate nasal tip changes following a rhinoplasty

You are correct that you do have thick skin of the nasal tip. This thick skin will definitely blunt the type of result that you desire. However it has only been 2 months since your surgery so relax and give it time and you may see some nice change to your nasal tip. It can take up to one year for all of the soft tissue swelling to resolve.

Rhinoplasty and swelling

You have very thick tissues, and you are only two months out from surgery. Give it a year for the swelling to go down.

Appropriate time for healing after rhinoplasty

The shape of your nose is going to continue to change as you heal. It's too early 2 months after surgery to begin worrying about a revision. Follow up closely with your surgeon, let him/her know your concerns, and give your nose a chance to heal.
