Over 1 year post op and my tip and columella are hard to the touch and lack definition - could there still be swelling? (photos)

nb0716
I got an open rhinoplasty May of 2023. While most swelling has gone down, my tip and columella is still very hard when touched, and appears very bulbous and has no definition. Could there still be swelling in this area? And how long would it take for it all to go down? Or, would this possibly require a revision rhinoplasty?
