Supra tip swelling or excessive cartilage? Nose overprojected after rhinoplasty (Photos)

omgdepressedpatient
I am 5 weeks post op from a closed primary rhinoplasty to lift the tip and removal a dorsal hump. my tip still is very bulbous/ball like and does not look natural and I look like a someone right out of whoville (a ski slope appearance). I am so upset. I personally believe it is excessive cartilage in my tip. What do you think?
