Is a minor revision worth it/necessary? (Photo)

Asked By:anniestudyhall in Saint Louis, MO

I am just over 1-year post op from my first Rhinoplasty and am very happy, and I did understand that I had some nostril asymmetry prior to surgery. Still, I did not expect it to be this significant from head-on after surgery. My surgeon says we can do a minor adjustment to improve the symmetry slightly, and I'm trying to weigh the risks of going under the knife again, no matter how "minor" it is. Is there a risk of it being worse? Would love another opinion.
