Will my upturned nose will drop into a normal range? 1 month ago post-op. Very disappointed. (photos)

I had a septorhinoplasty / dorsal hump removal 1 month ago. I asked the doctor not to rotate my nose because I don't like the look of an upturned nose, mine was upturned enough to begin with, plus my jaws are recessed. Now the angle seems too high and short. My doctor says it will drop into an acceptable range as swelling subsides but it hasn't changed since at all during my recovery. Is there still hope? My tip is still firm and columella still swollen. This has killed my confidence.
