Which procedure would correct alar retraction and uneven nostrils? Over 2 years post op (photos)

December 25, 2023
Asked By:Ash21656 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I had primary and revisionrhinoplasty, with the last surgery taking place over two years ago. My tip, i find is uneven / crooked. the alar retraction makes the appearance look asymmetrical. I really don’t want to undergo another procedure, especially under general anaesthesia. What are my options to correct this? My surgeon is saying leave it to avoid further disappointment. But this is causing significant distress in my day to day life.
