Surgeon Didnt Listen to What I Wanted For my Rhinoplasty, and the Revision Sound Fishy?(photo)

I had rhinoplasty over a year ago for a small hump removal and to make my tip less wide aswell as deprojection. My surgeon didnt deproject my tip at all, instead he added extra to make it pointy. now my nose is sooo long (nearly 3cm overprojected) and i gotta pollybeak aswell im soo unhappy because of it. Ive had a consultation for revision with him becuase of the soft tissue. he gonna shave under the soft tissue?? not remove it. and he said will be a quick surgery this sounds fishy to me.
