The appearance of the tip of your nose, after Rhinoplasty Surgery, will continue to change over the next 6-9 months.
I read your concern and reviewed your photo: I see that you have protrusion of your tip cartilage more on your right than your left.

Revision Rhinoplasty
It appears that there is severe asymmetry on your nasal tip, because of the way the cartilages on the right and left are positioned. While you still have swelling. This asymmetry will probably get worse with time as the swelling decreases.
The cartilages need to be repositioned to fix this problem.

Best of luck,

Rhinoplasty and pointy tip.
Too soon to say if you will need a revision. See your surgeon for follow up and he can tell you if your healing is proper.

It is too early to judge the final results. I suggest you stick close to your surgeon for follow up visits and be patient
