Does the Nose Tip Go Down Years After Surgery?

antoinette1793
I'm getting my nose done. Everyone says I should have it a little more curved than I want because the tips goes down. My doctor said the swelling makes it higher and the patient gets used to it being higher so they think the tip lowers, but others say it does go down even years after the surgery. Which is true? Should I get it more curved?
