There is a sharp point at nose tip after Rhinoplasty. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asked By:22si in Phoenix, AZ

I am 3 months post op from open rhinoplasty where i had nasal tip refined and dorsal hump removed. Looking at my profile there is a sharp point at the tip. Also my nostrils are retracted and columella appears low. Will the point and other two issues resolve over time or not? I had a steroid shot a month ago for the swelling.
