Nose Too Low After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

Hello, im 25 years old i had rhinoplasty surgery 12 days ago. My nose was very fat and i have think skin. My surgeon made my nose smaller and to add more definition he added graft from my nose. The nose seems too low now and the tip is not straight at the top from profile. Could you please tell me will my nose get a bit higher? And will my tip get smaller? Will it stay so pointy?
