Is it possible to trim pointier side of tip in a small revision? (Photos)

Asked By:Sociable520383 in England, United Kingdom

10 months post-op, my nose looks very wonky and although my nostrils look even from the bottom, on front view they look completely different and I think it’s due to one side of my tip being higher and pointier. When I push it down the nostrils even out, what can be done to fix this issue? My surgeon hasn’t responded to me in a month so I would like to ask for advice here.
