Hello, Thanks for your question. The tip usually softens a little as healing period ends. It also looks higher than normal the first couple of months sometime (specially in open rhinoplasty). Be patient, rhinoplasties are the operations that take longer to see the final outcome. Take care, Dr. Fernandez Goico
