Is my nose asymmetry due to internal scar tissue, uneven cartilage refinement, or poor surgery? (Photo)

Want2HelpOthers
I am 6 weeks post. I think the right side has 1 mm extra cartilage than left side- makes the nose appear more crooked. The nose tip slightly curves to the left, makes the previously uneven nostrils "more" uneven than before the surgery. I also did not ask for him to rotate the tip/angle of my nose. I asked that 1mm total be reduced on the sides of the tip. He added tip support, but did he have to change the tip angle? Would this surgery be considered an improvement from my old nose?
