My nose is still big for my face and I hate how tip sticks out. Should my nose have been shorten more from the tip? (photos)

Question

Hi, I got an open rhinoplasty on January the 28th, I feel nothing has changed besides the remove of the bump & my nose still appears so big especially the length of the tip. It’s been about fours months now. Is it possible that it will shorten from the side when the swelling goes down. The first 2 photos are before from the side and front. The 3rd one is after op, and the last 4 photos is how my nose currently appears now. Should my nose have been shorten more from the tip

Hello, Thank you for your question. It is too early to judge the final results which may last at least one year. The swelling will come and go within healing process. We can understand your concerns and worries about this issue, except waiting there is just only thing to clarify what you have, if you discussed your these deformities with your doctor and addressed their treatment you can be comfortable for waiting to complete the healing process. 
  
A detailed examination and exposure of what we can do or not will always certain expectations and prevent the unhappiness and healing process. To find out more you can utilise the Closed and Atraumatic Technique in Rhinoplasty, which help you out to find the best. Best Regards

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. There is still swelling present. The swelling misguides the results of your procedures. It can take up to one year for all the swelling to go down. Keep following up with your surgeon.

Hi and thank you for sharing your photos. It's still early to make any assumptions. Final healing time can take up to 1 year. Follow-up with your surgeon and talk about your concerns.You might benefit from tip defining procedures using either cartilage grafting or suturing techniques that would harmonize your nose. However, an in-person appointment is necessary to discussed in detail before you decide to proceed with any procedure. 
Best,
