Noticeably asymmetry post 5 weeks after v-line and facelift surgery!!!! (photo)

kimchicanuck37
5 weeks ago, I had v-line surgery and a facelift done. The right side is healing well, but the left side is completely asymmetrical. It is noticeably more swollen. You can also see that the area just above my lip and under my nose is being "tugged" to the left side causing noticeable asymmetry. I haven't seen ANY improvement on this side for the past 3 weeks. I brought this concern up to the surgeon a week ago and he said that everything would resolve in another month. Normal or not?
