Restore original nose back/ botched nose job? (photos)

Question

How can I fix what this surgeon did to my nose? -Is it possible to use cartialge plates that meet at the top, to augment the dorsom instead of using 1 piece of cartilage that gives an annatural look. -can cephalic trim be reversed by replacing the trimmed cartilage? Thus making the tip wider and more bulbous! -What kind of grafts and where should they be placed to get my old nose back? -Can I get a 3D printed cartilage transplant that look exactly like my old nose?

See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who must examine you before making any recommendations. I'm not sure you will be pleased with the final outcome as you sought surgery to change your nose in the first place and now want your original nose again which might not be possible.

You can restore some of the features of your old nose but do this selectively; remember, you did not like that nose either. Consult with a revision specialist , discuss your goals, and review your options. Tell the  surgeon what you want and let that individual explain the appropriate techniques.
