Uneven Nostrils After Rhinoplasty (Photo)

HelpAppreciated
I had an open septoplasty and rhinoplasty 8 days ago. As you can see from the photo, one of my nostrils is turned way upwards and is very visible from the front. My dr says this is because the nostril was drooping after surgery and he needed to add stitches inside the nostril to over-compensate, so when the stitches dissolve, it will fall into the correct spot. I know I need to wait for swelling to go down but I feel at this point the nostril will never fall into the correct spot. Thank you
