Normal for One Side of Nose to Heal Better Than the Other One After Rhinoplasty?

1491anon
Is it normal that on one side of my nose there is almost no swelling left but on the another one there is still pretty much swelling on, and the tip is also harder from one side that the other? I had my nose job done 6month ago to decrease the size of the tip and narrow the nostrils.
