Had Alarplasty with internal sutures to narrow the nostrils, right looks unnatural. Can suture be loosened/removed? (photo)

MCchicago
My procedure was yesterday. Only my upper lip seems swollen. My right nostril looks unnatural and is noticeable different from the other nostril. The nostril looks flat like it's being pulled and it's clear where the suture was placed. It seems I've lost the natural curve. Can the suture be loosened or removed? Thank you for your help.
