Alar retraction/revision rhinoplasty/lip lift concern -advice?

jeweledsoccerball
Hi! In 2020, I had a revision rhinoplasty after the 1st left me with a pollybeak. During my revision, I also had a lip lift to improve asymmetry from hemifacial microsomia. Now, my alar seems retracted & nostril is 'pulling my lip back down', causing more asymmetry. I'm at a loss. :/ My doctor is genuinely great and skilled, but my results seem to be falling short. How does one know when to give up vs. when to ask our surgeon for more help? I am nervous to politely address :(
