Inverted V deformity or swelling? (Photos)

Hello,
It is difficult to tell whether you have an inverted V deformity based on the photos you've provided.  Based on the photos however, it looks like that is not present at this time.  One month after surgery is too early for any sort of bony callus to form.  It is also unlikely that any sort of picking caused any problems so rest assured.  Because you have thick skin and are only one month post op I would definitely recommend following up with your surgeon for reassurance and examinations as time progresses.  
Regards,

Rest easy. You don't have an inverted V deformity. When it occurs it is not subtle and you can see it with or without flash. Bony calluses can occur after surgery as the bone reacts to healing. They can be sanded down easily later so don't worry too much about that :) Hang in there and hope this helped!
