Sharp outline in tip of nose after a tip Revision rhinoplasty. Will this round out? (photos)

ChiQueenJul 31, 2019
Is it normal for my tip to look this way after a tip rhinoplasty revision I am very concerned because I feel as the more the swelling goes down the more what appears to be cartilage or whatever it is, is more visible!! I am 5 months post op . Will this in fact round out ? Or what will I need to correct this ? Another surgery?? Fillers??? If so Any great revision surgeons in Chicago??
