Will this gap at the alar base bridge over and even out later or will I need revision alarplasty later? (Photos)

Hello doctors, I had an alarplasty 10 days ago. I understand it is still early in the healing process, but I'm a bit concerned about the alar base. They are clearly uneven and the alar base on my left has a slight gap in the middle where the incision meets. I asked my doctor about this and he said that the skin should granulate and bridge the gap over time, or it can be fixed with dermabrasion. Is this true? Or do you think I will need revision alarplasty to fix it? Thank you in advance.
