Is it normal for the hairline to look this uneven because of the swelling after hair transplant surgery?

Anonymous1391423
This is a day after hair transplant surgery, the team that performed the surgery told me that it was normal for the new hairline to look uneven because of the swelling, but I'm wondering if this is so, because it looks like there are more grafts on one side. (This was a 1,500 graft procedure)
