Tags: columella, options, unhappy

I recently underwent rhinoplasty to correct some cartliage buckling from a scar. The result is everything I did not want.I think my surgeon forgot the conversations we had pre op. I am wondering if my nose can be made to a similar look prior to surgery.I Know I must wait a year before going through this again.
