Rock hard nose - is it edema or hanging columella? (Photo)

christellys
Its been 9 months since rhinoplasty and the tip of my nose and collumella is still hard. Is that the reason when i smile it look like i habe hanging collumella and when ii have straight face it looks good. Will it get “flatter” as it gets softer over time or will i need revsion to fix it?? ALSO does edema effect collumella ?? IF i derorate my tip will it fix it ?? Without having to cut my collumella? my collumella looks like that only when i smile in pic Its all stressing me out thank you
