Nostrils different sizes and shapes after rhinoplasty. Should I consider a revision? (photo)

Celebrated1937
I had a open rhinoplasty about 1 month ago and now my nostrils are different. The left size looks like the surgeon cut more than the right. There is a big difference from the front view even the profile view. Should I consider a revision? I had told my surgeon several times that the nostrils looks so different, but he said it is still swollen. My nose look deformed in the front profile. Will it heal and become symmetrical nostrils or is it because of the placing of my alars on the sides?
