Nose issues

From the frontal view photographs it appears that you have prominent lower lateral cartilages that are giving the fullness. Other views and an in-person exam would be better.

You pictures are consistant with extra cartilage

You pictures are showing the prominent lower lateral cartilage. The swelling would be more even and you have cartilage sticking out more over the right side. You will need revision and do not get cortisone injections...

Nasal tip might need revision, but not now.

Your tip looks as though there is some excessive projection of the tip cartilages. However, at this time my opinion is speculative and you indeed have some swelling. I would keep in touch with your surgeon over the next few months and see how things change.
