Right nostril retracted. What can be done? (photo)

calmlotus1
I had a revision rhinoplasty last year and am happy with the results except that my right nostril is retracted. I mentioned this to my surgeon and was told that it would be too complicated to correct. Other doctors have said that I need a composite graft. Can this be done with local anesthesia or would I have to undergo a full revision surgery? Any recommendations of a surgeon in the bay area who can help? I'm okay with the left nostril. Thanks,
