Tip cartilage shifted after primary rhinoplasty - Would I need a revision? (photo)

bluespecks98
Surgery was in late August, so I am around 4 months post op. There is asymmetrical swelling on the right side, which I know is normal. However, I know what is NOT normal is how the cartilage implant (from my septum) at the tip of my nose shifted to the right. I understand scar tissue inside the nose can pull the cartilage more to one side than the other. I would like to get other doctors’ perspectives on if I would need a revision before I see my doctor in January? Thanks.
