How Would a Pinched Tip and Wide Bridge Be Fixed in Revision Rhinoplasty?

Hello I had rhinoplasty surgery 2 months ago. I am unhappy with the result, although the nose looks okay from profile view, from the front the bridge looks too wide where the hump was removed and the tip looks pinched. I know the bridge may still be slightly swollen but osteotomies were not made during the surgery (the hump was just filed) and I can feel 2 boney bumps either side. I now do not trust my original surgeon so please could you tell me how this would be fixed in revision rhinoplasty?
