Revision Rhinoplasty 8 Weeks Ago and Have Noticeable Dents?

I had revision rhinoplastry 8 weeks ago ... When the cast first came off it was a little uneven but he said it was swollen and was happy with it but since three noticeable dents have appeared and it seems to dip on one side where there are two dents ... Could this just be swelling or by 8 weeks should my nose be looking ok ? It was just tip work and columella revision.
