Does an asymmetrical tip cartilage ever correct itself? (Photos)

userabc123
I had closed rhino 4 months ago, and though I am generally happy with results, I now I have an uneven tip (from what seems like uneven cartilage trimming). I can feel that one side of the tip is longer than the other and it is visible as a bump on one side of the tip. I am sure my surgeon will fix it closer to the one year mark, but is this something that would ever correct itself with time? My surgeon said the longer side may dissolve with time, but not sure what that means.
