9 months post-op rhinoplasty and my tip is still square-like and not defined. Should I be considering a 2nd rhinoplasty? (Photo)

I am 9 months post-op from rhinoplasty and I have noticed the lower one-third/tip is not at all defined(triangular tip) that I had wanted. Is swelling still to blame or is the obvious square-like nature of my tip at this point an indication that my surgeon under resected my tip? And if under resected, would a tip rhinoplasty alone be enough to balance out the lower area of my nose? Note that I am perfectly happy with the profile view of my nose and only hope to define the frontal view. Thanks!
