Do I seem to have an over-resected nasal bridge? Or is it just swelling? (Photo)

pdisla
I had rhinoplasty done 7 months ago. At first, I was very pleased with my profile, but with time, the swelling on my bridge went down, and I started noticing a supra-tip "fullness" which I am not fond of. Although I am pretty pleased with my results and love the overall look, this slight problem in my profile is the only thing bothering me. May this be a deformity due to an over-resected dorsum? Or may this just be swelling on my tip and supra-tip? Will my profile ever appear "straight?"
