15 days post op of Rhinoplasty, the tip of my nose is very swollen, numb, and a bit hardened. Is this normal?

I had a rhinoplasty done, to fix my deviated septum and reduce my dorsal hump. When the splint came off my profile was perfect, but now I am noticing that it's becoming slightly raised where the bump once was. When I press down on it gently, it goes down, so I don't know if this is still swelling or something that might need revision. It's been 15 days since surgery. The tip of my nose is very swollen still, it's numb and a bit hardened.
