Nostrils Show Too Much After Rhinoplasty: Is my Nose Too Short/high? (photo)

SheThinks
I had a rhinoplasty 4 weeks ago to remove a large hump and lift what I thought was a slightly droopy tip. Now my profile is straight (which I love) but my nostrils show WAY more and the tip seems too high (from the profile view, the "nasolabial angle" looks high to me). I am not pleased with the results of my rhinoplasty, but should I be?? I know it's early, but is this excessive nostril show? And is the nasolabial angle too high? I don't know if I am just being picky or if my concerns are valid.
