Straighten the Nosebridge? What Are My Options? (photo)

I have had two operations on my nosebridge. I had a little dorsal hump on one side of my nose which I wanted removed. My doctor chose to file it down through the nostril, he also did the other side of my nose to match. I ended up with two bumps and a flat bridge. I would like to know what the best ways to achieve a straight nosebridge is, with least possibility of an uneven bridge or new bumps. I have heard about i shaped implants?? What options are there? Ps. I know it looks horrible :(
