Do I have a twisted columella?

Asked By:Grace30 in Great Britain, GB

I am 3.5 months post rhino and my nose is deviating to one side, since swelling has come down it feels like my columella is twisted, can you tell me from the picture if it looks like if this is the case and how hard this is to correct, I know I will have to wait one year and also follow up with surgeon but would be helpful to have another opinion
