Should I trust my doctor to fix asymmetric nose? (Photos)

54bethOct 23, 2021
Cartilage bump. I have a bump appearing on the left side of my nose (may be cartilage). A few weeks in my surgery I had a prolapse which my doctor "fixed" by just stitching it hence the scar and also why my left nostril appear smaller. They're is an asymmetric appearance to my nose and after looking at others pictures I believe the alar rims are not leveled. My doctor originally was going to charge me to fix it but after a post he called me saying he will fix it for free. Should I trust him? Please help!
