Hello, thank yu for provided information and photos, based on them since you are in recent healing phase you have swelling as a part of the healing process for that reason your nose might seem uneven. After waking up it is normal seeing more swelling. Now, you should avoid any intervention and follow up your Surgeon and given instructions. Best Regards,

I think it is best for you to go to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. This would be the best way to evaluate the concerns that you have.
