Is it normal to have uneven nostrils and crooked nose after septoplasty? 1 week post op.

JWN860
I had a septoplasty last Thursday. I had my apparently one and ONLY post op follow up visit Monday. I was told everything looked good however my nose looks crooked to me and my nostrils look uneven. The deviation was on the right side and that nostril looks fine the left looks widened. I had splints and gel packing. I know it's only 5 days post op but I am nervous that it's permanent. Will my nostrils be even again and my nose less crooked is this normal?
