Is my nose still swollen 1 1/2 years after rhinoplasty or is this my final result? (Photos)

I had my first rhinoplasty in feb 2022 & I’m not 100% happy. I like the side profile, but from the front, my tip doesn’t have that definition I hoped for. It looks very swollen still after 1.5 years after and has a “sausage” shape from the front. I’m considering revision but doctors have told me that my skin is thick and either can’t be made any smaller or still needs more time for swelling to go down. Is it possible I have scar tissue, would steroid injection help or just more time?
