Upturned Nose, and Other Concerns, 3 Months Post Op Unsure if It is Due to Swelling?

Asked By:moomoon999 in Australia, AU

3 months ago I had a rhinoplasty for a straight profile and shave down the right side of nose for less asymmetrical appearance also a tip graft for a slimmer tip, but now the tip is short looking an has a upturned look on my profile, will my nose turn down? does a hump make the tip appear less bulbous ? also will the bridge stay as wide? also if I decide revision to put my hump back on, could i achieve my old nose or would it just get worse? is this nose now worse then my old one?
