Asymmetric swelling after rhinoplasty
You right to say that post-operative swelling can occur and improve asymmetrically. It's too early to say if your open roof deformity will look better or not, but give it time and keep your postoperative follow-up visits to make sure everything is progressing well.

Rhinoplasty Result 3 Weeks Post-op
It is difficult to evaluate your nose 3 weeks after surgery. As you suggest, the swelling may resolve asymmetrically. Hopefully the open roof has been corrected. Be patient, wait another 6 months, and share your concerns with your surgeon. We would like to help you, but that's impossible without examining you.
