Unhappy with cosmetic results of Moh's surgery. Can you help?

tmsweazy
Hello. I've recently had Moh's surgery on my nose for a basal cell removal. I had sixteen stitches, plus some internally. I had the external stitches removed yesterday, 7 days after the surgery. The scar looks much better than expected. All swelling seems to be gone. What I'm having an issue with is my nostrils are no longer symmetrical. One is bigger than the other from the front view and points upward more. I won't be happy with this cosmetically. Any advice?
