Deviated Nose After 2 Surgeries, What Should I do?

My nose was straight, but I wanted to get rid of a bump that made it look ugly. Did my first surgery Nov 2007, right after surgery my nose looked great, but it slowly began getting crooked. I gave it 3 years and it was the same. So I went to lebanon in 2010 for a revision by a well known plastic surgeon, again, right after surgery my nose was straight, until it slowly began getting crooked. Now it's crooked. I don't know what to do?
