How long will it take for the tip to drop?

ninalyds20
I had open rhinoplasty 10 wks ago. I asked for a curved side profile but I didn't want the tip to be upturned. My doctor insisted on a slight tip rotation. He said the tip is usually overcorrected so that it drops to a normal level after surgery. Currently the tip is overrotated+ my side profile looks fake. My nose is still swollen.The tip is very hard + I can't move it left/right/up/down. Is there anything I can do to make it drop more than normal? Could pushing the swollen tip downwards help?
