How Soon After my First Alar Base Reduction, Will I Be Able to Have a Second Alar Base Reduction Procedure?

andy jay
2 weeks ago. I had my third rhinoplasty (revision) to revise a supratip hump and to smoothen my bridge more. No bones were broken. I also took my surgeon's advise and had alar base reduction at the same time, as he said my nostrils were flared. Unfortunately it looks like my left nostril is very slightly more flared than my right. It seems as if he did not reduce the left one enough. I know its only been two weeks. However i would like to know if he could reduce my left alar base ASAP?
