2 weeks post op. rhinoplasty and my nostril cartilage looks "broken" (photos)

glcckr
hi. I got a septo-rhinoplasty 15 days ago and i still have swelling and bruising. My nostrils were not even since i got out of the surgery, but i was told its because of swelling but now the cartilage of my left nostril is caving upwards when i breathe and looking somehow broken compared to the left one. my surgeon told me he did not touch my nostrils. i am extremely concerned and i really need to know if this is a result of swelling. please help and thank you in advance.
