I'm 10 days post op and my nostrils are uneven, a different size, and shape. Will this change with swelling? (Photo)

I got my cast removed on day 6. The whole tip of my nose was shifted to the left and the nostrils were different shapes and sizes. It was still swollen so the doctor said give it some time to heal and the tip will get back into place. It is day 10 and the nose still has different shapes. To me, it looks like one of the nostrils is missing some stitches at the top. I would physically go to see my doctor, except I traveled to get it done.
