Can Nasal Tip Be Touched Up with Local Anesthesia?

Questiontip
I recently underwent a revision rhinoplasty. Despite the revision, the lower left side of my nasal tip continues to point to the left. A cartilage graft that was placed in the first rhinoplasty seems to be pointed, rather than round and contoured, creating this protrusion and asymmetry. The question is whether this problem can be touched up under local anesthesia? Thank you!
