2 weeks post rhinoplasty, cartilage/septum sticking out. Advice? (photos)

lizzyh95
I'm 2 weeks post op and I absolutely love how my nose is looking. I can breathe fine but I noticed that my left nostril looks like it has cartilage sticking out. I can feel it when I take a breath in, it's kind of irritating and I hope it's not my septum being crooked. Could this be because of swelling? Is my incision healing unevenly?
