Is my Nose Crooked? Will It Change? (photo)

I had my nose done 12 days ago. I wanted the surgery was because I had a bulbous and droopy tip. The day the cast was removed I didn't like it because it looked crooked. I know that my nose was asymmetrical before the surgery but I assumed that it would be corrected. I have spoken with the doctor since and she says that the crookedness is mainly due to swelling and that after a while it will be much "less noticeable". I'm very sad with the outcome at this point. Will it improve?
