Will Doctor Supply a Copy of Before and After Pictures?

Can I get a copy of my before and after pictures after my (rhinoplasty) plastic surgery? ...and...I didn't like the result of my rhinoplasty because the doctor didn't listen to my request not to put an implant in the upper nasa frontal part of my nose but he did. Will/can/should he revise it for free?
