Is there a chance my nasal bones or cartilages shifted (moved) after my rhinoplasty? (photo)

salvamea
or are the asymmetries (osteomoties and collapsed upper lateral cartilage) as shown on picture the results of my surgeon's own work? i did not hit my nose nor did I have an infection. everything was normal. can swelling shift nasal bones or cartilages? I had an open primary rhinoplasty 1 year ago.
