Hi, I had an open septo/rhinoplasty 1st Feb (5 months ago). After cast removal it was more defind and narrow from the tip. It started to swell more after 3 months, the tip become more round and has no definition. My tip is still stiff and feels hard, I like my profile however from the front it looks wide specially in the morning where it swell the most. From my pictures do you think it is possible that the tip will shrink with time and refine it self more or will I need a revision. Appreciate your advice.
