Minor open roof deformity, doctor said would not be able to fix it. Is this correct or should I seek a second opinion? (Photos)

Asked By:Aquarius333 in Los Angeles, CA

My doctor has confirmed I have a minor open roof deformity (see pic) however has said would not be able to fix it and suggests we leave it alone. Is this correct or should I seek a second opinion? The doctor has booked me in for two months time to fix other issues, I do not understand why he cannot fix the open roof deformity during this time as he is performing an open surgery. Why would it be so difficult for him to fix and will the minor open roof deformity be OK left as it is?
