9 days post-op. Have I got soft triangle notching? What is the cause and cure? Do you believe this will resolve? (photo)

Colly3
The past few days I have been growing very concerned about the dent/notch in my right nostril. I am happy with the overall surgery result (potentially) but this notch is causing assymetry and makes the right nostril a rather unnatractive shape. After reading lots of stuff I've come to the conclusion that this is probably soft triangle notching. Would you agree on this? If so, is there a chance this can resolve on its own or will I definately need a graft? Could it be something else entirely?
