Goretex Implant deviated or shifted, 2 months post rhinoplasty. (photos)

Pats101
I am 2 months post-op rhinoplasty and as the swelling decreases i can feel like my implant is shifting to the left when i touch my left upper bridge i can feel the implant on the side while on the right i cant feel it. Also when i palpate my upper bride i can feel where my implant starts and it is not in the middle. I'm just wondering if swelling pushes the implant on the side and it will go in the center after de-swelling. It's not that bad but i'm just bothered. Will it go to the center after swelling?
