Stiff, tight columella - does this look normal? (Photo)

Reliable824666
Hello. I am hoping you can give me some advice. I had my rhinoplasty 6 months ago (next week). Please see attached photos. My columella is extremely tight and stiff and my tip rock hard. I know the swelling can take around a year or more to resolve. My question is, will the tightness of my columella resolve? I feel that I have a lot of extra space between my lip and nose. My nose doesn’t when smiling/laughing. Als the bump in the circled photo, does this look normal?
