Clicking after rhinoplasty. Could the graft be loose?

rhal22
I have a columella the strut placed for increased tip projection 2 months ago. when I smile or push on my lip, I can feel it click. I know this is sometimes common but could this be an indication that the graft is loose? I pushed on my nose a few weeks after surgery so I'm a little concerned. I talked to my surgeon and he said everything looks like it's healing well. would he be able to tell if the graft had shifted just based on a physical examination?
