L-Shaped implant causing too much pressure on nose tip. Should I wait or try to do revision ASAP?

Almost 5 months ago I had Asian rhinoplasty done with L silicon implant and ear cartilage at the tip. There has been lots of pressure at the tip ever since the operation. Aside from the pressure, the nose tip points dramatically to the right since the day of the operation. The bridge is straight. I'm sure I will seek another, more experienced surgeon for revision, but when should I do revision? I've read that it is recommended to wait 6 months, but I'm worried about the pressure on the tip.
