Visible Incision Scar from Rhinoplasty / Alar Base Reduction? (photo)

Ytrio
I had Rhinopl with alar base reduction 1.5 years ago. Right before surgery my surgeon asked me if I wanted smaller nostrils, and said there hardly would be any visible scars. So I sadly said yes, trusting him. Now, I would never have it done if I knew about the obvious ugly scars that would be. I asked my surgeon for a revision, but he said there was nothing he could do. Is it possible to do a revision, and minimize the visible scars? How can I find a surgeon I can trust will make it better?
