Implant Shifting After Rhinoplasty - Normal?

Ryan44
I won't be able to see the surgeon until next week. I have to ask if shifting after getting rhinoplasty normal? I have an implant and the tip is shifting a bit. It's not out, but I can feel it moving when I am drinking water or just sitting down. Is the shifting the swelling going down. I would like to add that I am 23 days post op with a Medpor implant for the bridge and tip. I have not cause any trauma to it for I was told to stay away from strenuous work for a while.
