Would a revision lip lift rectify my problems?

I had a lip lift 15 years ago with deep sutures. During over exertive facial exercise, the deep sutures on the right tore. My nose instantly swelled and moved to left and blocked, columellar dropped.

I wrote the paper showing that lip lifts and rhinoplasty can be done at the same time and have done these together for years. However, if you want this doctor to do the revision, then just wait 6 months and that should be fine as long as the doctor is experienced with lip lifts as well.
