I'm only 11 days post op but I'm worried this is already the shape. Seems too elongated and pointed. From all other photos of people, the swelling subsiding only made subtle changes. i know everyone is different and maybe mine can do down more?

My before nose was bulbous, minor dorsal hum, and wider alars. I'm assuming I have thick skin. The doc Just used the extra cartilage in my nose to form the tip. I can't tell if the placed cartilage is too low or just too much and pointed. I did not want the tip lower than it looked before in the front, changing my face so much. I'm hoping it's just a lot of swelling but the tip seems hard like that's the position it's going to be :(

is there hope the tip will settle a good amount But also not get lower?

Honestly I have been taping to keep the tip up because Im nervous and embarrassed that my face looks different as the tip is seemingly lower than before from the front. I feel like from other people's photos during this stage, the position is the position it's mostly in, just subtle swelling .. is it overprojected too much?
