Why Does my Nose Look the Same After Revision Rhinoplasty? (photo)

I had my 3rd rhinoplasty procedure done 13 days ago and it still looks the same. I asked for my tip to be shortened and curved upwards and a curve along the bride but they both still look quite straight as it was. My procedure lasted 3 and a half hours and there seems to be alot of swelling and i understand that there will be more definition within the next few months to years but will it be shaped how im hoping it will? Also my ps says that the tip cannot be shortened anymore is it true?
