Should my nostrils be uneven after 6 months rhinoplasty including alar base reduction? (Photo)

Teemisc322
I had rhinoplasty including alar base reduction surgery in Feb with a well-known surgery practice. After the surgery I noticed my nostrils were uneven - the nurse assured me this was just swelling. Then after 3 months I had a follow up appointment with the surgeon who again told me that the evenness was caused by swelling. It has now been 6 months since my operation and I’m concerned that the asymmetry is not just swelling. How can I tell if it is swelling or if this is the final outcome?
