Worried about columella wound and nose shape at 2 weeks post open rhinoplasty. Should I be worried or is this swelling? (photo)

Lullabelle
I had an open rhinoplasty 14 days ago, turbinate reduction and some tip restructuring. I’ve had no major problems over the last two weeks, but I have some concerns about the wound across my columella as it is very uneven and has a ‘bulge’ on the left side. This ‘bulge’ almost looks like skin that’s not flush with the rest of the wound (it’s not painful) I see my surgeon in 2 days for my first review but would also like some other opinions on this please! Should I be worried or is this swelling?
