Do I Have a C-shaped Deformity Post Rhinoplasty? (photo)

Dooflenose
5 weeks post op I seem to have developed quite a few problems. Hard round lumps either side of my bridge, another hard lump where a dorsal hump was removed. My nose also looks lop-sided - One side of my nose is very defined, and the skin is taut right up to the nasal bone, whilst the other looks to be more swollen still but feels built up and bony. Also my nostrils are lop-sided too. Have I developed a c-shape deformity? If yes, how soon do I have to wait for correction. It's v stressful!
