Is my nose tip still swollen 1.5 yrs after open rhinoplasty? What can I do to achieve a smaller tip?

avadar
Hi all! I'm about 1.5 years out from my primary open rhinoplasty. I like my results, but I still don't LOVE my nose. The tip of my nose is bigger than I would prefer still. I got a steroid injection about 5 months ago hoping that would help but the tip is more bulbous from the frontal view than I'd like. Does it appear I still have swelling in the tip? If not, what are some options that would be good for me to consider to get a smaller nasal tip? Tip plastic? Or even alar plastic?
