17 Year Old in Dire Need of Revision Rhinoplasty Advice? (photo)

In august 2011 I got surgery to fix a deviated septum/saddle nose, and got some rib put in my nose to fix the saddle/provide support. Now it's so uneven and has a big bump. My doctor said he can either shave off the bump and fix some other things (my uneven nostrils, etc) or build up my tip more with ear cartilage and make my nose more projected so the bump doesnt show. He thinks shaving it off would make my nose too small, but it's less expensive and would heal faster. Any suggestions?
