How long does swelling last after open rhinoplasty to reduce tip size?

Sweaver5
I had open rhinoplasty 13 months ago to reduce & slim down the size of my tip. My ps told me most of the swelling should subside within 12 months. When I had the cast taken off, my nose looked amazing. Now, I can not tell a difference. I have even had family members comment & say they see absolutely no change. Now my nose is pointed more downward, but aside from that I still have the same tip. I took pictures the day before the surgery to compare & see no change. Should I consider revision surgery?
