Take a deep breath and relax. Lip swelling after rhinoplasty in entirely normal. You should start to see a decrease in this over the next week. Remember to keep your head elevated when you are recumbent and avoid any strenuous activity for another couple of weeks.

Nasolabial fold asymmetry can typically be improved with dermal filler injections. I would like to know when your rhinoplasty and alar base procedures were performed. If this was performed recently (1-3 months) might improve with time. You might want to ask your surgeon about massaging the area...
You should ask your Rhinoplasty Surgeon for his/her advice as you are still under his/her care 1 month post Rhinoplasty. If the nose is avoided, a 25% glycolic face peel (which is a rather mild chemical peel) should not affect the Rhinoplasty healing.
