Twisted Tip After Primary Rhinoplasty. Do I Have to Wait A Year To Fix? (photo)

However... the lower part of my nose, the tip and the area right above it, seems to twist to the left. This may be partially due to more carteledge having been removed on the left side than the right. My nose has always been sort of twisted, but now it seems shaped like a banana and is MUCH more noticeable. Is this permament? Will I have to wait a YEAR to fix this? =worried
