What can I do to eliminate curled nostrils?

Raul7Jan 22, 2014
I had a rhinoplasty operation and I really really regret it. In actuality I had BDD but never knew what it was until now. I'm having a revision done to restore some of what I lost. But my main concern is my nostrils flare/curl. When before they did not. Is there a way to restore some tissue to make neutral like a natural nose?
