I have line and swelling on the side of my nose after Rhinoplasty. Is this normal? (photos)

Totti
Hi, I had rhinoplasty surgery a little over a month ago and my recovery was well since I had no bruising and hardly swelled. My concern, (conern, is lightly putting it, I am actually freakish out) I have a line on the top of my nose (see picture). It's almost like a groove or skin stuck to the bone on top of the bridge of my nose. Underneath that line looks swollen, however I feel like it caused by this mark. You can mostly see this when I turn to the side (see picture #2). Is it permanent?????
