Is the Nasal Tip Asymmetry Likely to Heal with Time?

I am just over 20 wks postop (open septo-rhinoplasty). Had a hump removed, bridge thinned, and the tip slightly elevated and substantially thinned. Healing has been comfortable and I've been told by my surgeon to massage tip to reduce swelling.
I have noticed asymmetry in the nasal tip (left side in picture (my right)seems sharper/ more defined than right), and asked surgeon who said the large portion of tip removed left scar tissue nd swelling that will subside in time. Does that seem feasible
