One of my nostril sits higher than the other. Any suggestions? (photos)

Deborah York
From what I have read nostril asymmetry is "normal" in early post op rhinoplasty phase. I am understandably concerned when I see pictures of people who's 12 month post op Picts look like my 1 week post op Picts. Any insight or calming of fears would be appreciated regarding the fact that a) my nose is slanted b) one nostril sits higher than the other. Thank you.
