My tip is too high after rhinoplasty. Will it drop? (Photo)

sandraacmenj
I am 2 weeks post op and I’ve been unhappy with my results from the day I had my cast removed. My tip is way too high making me look piggy. The middle part on the bottom of my nose is a lot higher than my nostrils. It always pulls on my top lip making it feel like I’m pulling on something when I move my mouth. Will I ever have full mobility of my top lip again? Will my tip drop at all? My surgeon said he did it like this so that my tip wouldn’t drop again. Help!!!!
