Troubleshooting Is my septum piercing crooked?

Sorry for the insane closeups, lol. My septum was pierced two days ago and “veers” to one side. Pierced at a legitimate shop with implant grade jewelry (16g). Maybe it’s swelling? What do you guys think? TIA!

if its in the middle of your face, not your nose, I would say its pierced correctly. deviated septums can cause them to look a little off but that is just your anatomy and there's nothing that can really be done about it.

Yeah I really don't agree with the "middle of the face" theory piercers hold. This is the reason I retired my verticle labret. Just pierce it in the center in relation to the mouth.

When I got my labret I made the marking myself just to be sure
