I'm currently post-op 2 weeks. I think the bridge and tip is too high and tip a bit drooping. Can you recommend if this is the case. In the case bridge is too high, what can be done during revision surgery. Will my tip go down any significant degree, say 2mm due to possible swelling?

I am completely happy with the result as my nose looks higher and big in general atm. Please advise.
