Hanging Columella Swelling 4 Months After Open Rhinoplasty, Is This Likely to Change?

Hi there, I had an open rhinoplasty(correction of all bony and cartliaginous elements) and septoplasty (deviated septum and turbinate reduction) done 4 months ago. My tip and columella look big. I was really happy when I saw my nose after the cast was taken off, but now I'm a bit worried. My columella looked ok first week after the surgery but now it appears to be hanging.I am really concerned about this and would appreciate if you could advise me on my concern.
