6 months after rhinoplasty and nose is healing crooked - does the bone take longer to heal? (photos)

Gentle379796
Hello, I just had some questions about rhinoplasty healing. My doctor is not great at communicating and usually my question is never answered. As my nose is healing around 6 months or so, I am starting to realize its becoming crooked and I don’t know if its because im sleeping on my side. There is a visible bump at the side of my nose where he did an osteotomy, almost like that bone isnt straight. Does the bone itself take time to heal? Can it be straightened out my sleeping on back instead?
