My philtrum looks strange after alar base reduction surgery.

I went to the hospital to get revision nose surgery, and at the doctor’s recommendation, I ended up having alar base reduction surgery as well. I have severe nasolabial folds and prominent cheekbones, and they said it would be good to do it together with the nose, so even though it was a surgery I hadn’t thought about at all, I just decided it would be better to get everything done at once and asked them to do it. It’s been about two weeks since the surgery now, and I can tolerate the foreign-body sensation, bruising, and things like that. The problem is that my philtrum looks a little crooked. I went in for revision nose surgery because the silicone looked bent, and they said my nasal septum was significantly deviated, so they corrected that this time. But now my philtrum, which I never even thought about before, looks crooked... I’m worried sick... From the reviews, it sounds like it takes a long time to settle, but will it go back to normal as time passes? I feel like I’m dying from worry... Did I do alar base reduction for nothing, and now my philtrum looks crooked this time... Will it be okay once the swelling goes down?
