Had a rhinoplasty done in May to get rid of a bump on the lateral side of my nose. The surgeon took too much cartilage from the right side and it is not symmetrical to the left. He also reduced my tip and made my bulblous nose pointy. I preferred my nose prior to the surgery. I had a bulbous but long nose and I would like to recover those aspects.

How difficult is it to revise my nose and go from my surgical nose to pre surgical nose?
