What are the risks of fixing a cowlick? (Photo)

diggsm
I have a cowlick in the front left corner of my front hairline. The hairline is also a little higher on that corner and I would also like to make it more symmetrical. I do not have any hair loss so I just need to fix that one section of my hair. I would like to know if there are any issues i should consider. If it is a risk to remove the cowlick is it safer to just add hair to make the hairline symmetrical right below the cowlick and not touch it
