September 2011 I was injured during a soccer game, having being elbowed on my nose's bridge. It resulted on a C-shaped nose, but not very aggressive, so I went to my surgeon and asked him simply to straighten my bridge. The result was catastrophic. I liked my nose's shape, and thistook all the expression from my face. You can clearly see that the bridge was destroyed, my nostrils are now showing up (as he clearly moved my tip up), and my tip is awkward. It has been 6 months now.

Answer: Rhinoplasty revision
You had a severe injury of the bridge and then surgery to straighten it. It is impossible to go back in time to what you had before the injury. Part of the problem may be that you asked your surgeon to simply straighten the bridge and it was not a good idea to do that. You will need revision surgery to get what you want and you need to be more aware of your options before going in to surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Answer: Getting your old nose back
I think that the main issue in your situation comes down to the communication between you and your surgeon. Clearly the bridge has been reduced. Only you and your surgeon know what you discussed at the time of your consultation. I think that reversing the results will be difficult.
