3 Weeks Post Op and my Tip is Exactly the Same As Pre Op. It's Not Swelling, is It?

eliza bethany
I have uploaded some pictures of before & after. The tip is exactly the same. My radix was augmented, I had an alar based reduction, the tip & the supra tip was meant to be reduced but it hasn't. Surely even if a part of the nose is swollen you can still tell the different shape from underneath the swelling? My surgeon wants to try steroid injections next week (It will be 4 weeks post op) but I don't know because I have heard of complications you can get from these. Is the tip the same? Thanks
