Would a revision rhinoplasty correct my previous results or will my cartilage regrow again? (photos)

Asked By:Bitty2497 in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand
8 months ago i had an open rhinoplasty to get rid of the bridge hump and change the tip. I was told i was going to have a feminine curved in bridge yet my bridge is now humped again. I asked the surgery place what happened and they gave me different stats of cartilage regrowth to what was said in the consult. If i have the money one day, would the same thing happen after a revision? Also the left side of the tip is lopsided, is this still swelling? I hate my nose now :(
