Remaining Bump After Open Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty

My tip seems unshaped, but i am confident cos it still seems swollen and i have a thick/oily skin in the area, but what really concerns me is that i still have a small bump. My surgeon reasures me that it is swelling but I am starting to believe that at week 6 it has to be bad outcome. What is true?
