First, I know reversal to the old nose isn't possible, I mean get some similar features back. When I look at revision rhinoplasty images for surgeons they all do similar things as the primary such as remove hump, rotate tip up, and narrow nose. So if someone want's something else there is limited proof of good results. This a from a blog of a facial plastic surgeon: "I perform many revision rhinoplasty procedures to correct ski sloped noses but most people want them straight. I have actually never been asked to put back a large bump or hump. I was not sure how effective I would be at recreating a hump. I used a nasal implant and added sheets of cartilage to the undersurface of the implant and sutured them all together. I was amazed at the result. I was able to give him a hump just as he asked for. This is not the best looking nose for his face by any means and not what I would have recommended had he asked me to what I think would look best. But this is a perfect example of making sure that the surgeon listens to the patients and gives the patient what they want, not what the surgeon wants. This has already tremendously boosted his self esteem and will continue to change his life for the better in many ways." This is the only example I've found and no proof to show for it. So if someone's primary surgeon doesn't want to do a reversal to add some features back, there really aren't many options left.
