Rhinoplasty 16 Months -Tip is Still Rock Hard
I am sorry to say but this is the result you got.It may not change much any more.Perhaps you seek help of some other surgeon.Your own surgeon can inject Kenalog to soften the hardness and may also reduce the size of the tip but its up to his discretion.

Rhinoplasty results at one year
By this time, I would say that you should have a frank discussion with your surgeon, explaining your concerns.
