Uneven swelling on nasal tip 11 months after septoplasty. Is this normal? (Photo)

tco04222
Hello, I got a septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery in December 2021 to help with breathing. The surgeon stated the procedure would also straighten my nose. Overall, the procedure was a success. I am breathing far better and my nose bridge is straighter in my opinion. However, the shape of my nasal tip has been quite affected with one side noticably swollen and the overall shape being asymmetrical. Just wanted to ask if this type of swelling for this procedure is common ~11 months later.
