Nose is crooked after 3-Piece Maxillary Lefort Osteotomy... can it be fixed? (photos)

NCSUEngr
During my 3-piece Maxillary LeFort Osteotomy surgery in May of last year my upper jaw was rotated 2 mm. As a result, my nose is now crooked. The Maxillofacial Surgeon set up an appointment with a Plastic Surgeon they have on staff and he feels there is little he can do. He said that if he straightens it, it will likely become crooked again. I'm not sure how experienced he is in rhinoplasty as there are no before/after images on their site. Is he correct, or should I get a second opinion?
