Oh, I know exactly what you mean. For some inexplicable reason, the dropped/laddered up sts look bigger, droopy and wonky, right? (and not just the st at the border). It doesn’t make sense, and yet there it is!
I’ve only done this on blocks of 4 or 6 sts, and blocking kinda helped…

are they just a little wonky right at the knit/purl transition? it looks like it in the pic. if so, i believe that blocking will help.

i am a big ‘mistake’ knitter and a bigger believer in blocking to fix stuff. i think you might be okay with a really good soak and shape and then you would not have to rip so much progress. could be wrong…hope i am not.
