Can the cartilage filler in my nose be removed/dissolved? Do I need a revision rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Barbie2OOO in Berlin, Berlin, Tyskland

I had a rhinoplasty last month. The doctor didn't only remove my hump but he filled my nose with cardilage filler in between my eyes so my nose appear longer which we never agreed on. I hate it and never wanted to make changes besides shaving my hump. I told him that I didn't like it and he kept saying that it's beautiful and would be ugly without. He didn't care about my opinion and created the nose he liked. Can the cartilage filler be removed/dissolved? Or do I need a revision rhinoplasty?
