I recently found out I have an innocent heart murmur and my family doctor said its nothing to worry about. I want to have a revision rinoplasty but I'm scared that It will be dangerous because of the murmur. Is it safe to go ahead with the surgery. I'm 30 years old and healthy.

Well chosen cartilage for alar grafting, either from the septum or the ear, placed and secured well, just have a very low risk of warping. There can never be a guaratee with any surgery, but typically, in well trained hands this risk should be minimal. I hope you are happy with your new change.
From your photos, it is a little difficult to fully assess your facial proportions. It does, however, appear that lifting your tip further would be a good idea. You will, however, likely see at least a little more nostril on front view when doing so.
This is an easy problem to correct with a clear and plain solution. You have for whatever reason less support of the lateral crus on the right side causing the nostril to sag inward. The only solution (correct approach) is to take a cartilage graft from the conchal bowl of the ear and place it...
