Could a Septoplasty Cause my Once (Mostly) Symmetric Nostrils to Become Uneven?

la234
I had the surgery to correct for sinus blockage (chronic infections) back in January 2009 by my ENT doctor. There is no difference in the appearance of my nose but is it possible that the shifting of the septum to alleviate the blockage caused my nostrils to become uneven?
