What are my options for scar removal from the nostril 1 year post rhinoplasty? (photos)

Optimistic366301
I had a rhinoplasty a year ago and was left with a visible scar on my left nostril. My surgeon suggested surgical removal by cutting 1mm on each side of the scar and then stiching it back together. However, that would make my already asymetrical nostrils even worse. And since the left nostril is already smaller, breathing could be a lot worse. Is there any other way of fixing the problem??
