Rhinoplasty: 16 days post-op piggy nose. (Photos)

MariL028
I got a rhinoplasty 16 days ago. I did not want any changes from the front just a small bump to be removed. Today my tip is way too high and my nostrils are showing a lot more after surgery. My surgeon told me to put an injert on the tip so it would not fall after I smiled that it would not change my front view he says I should wait. Today I am really worried. Should I be? How much more should I expect for the tip to come down?
