Can a Lateral Osteotomy Be Reversed?

11704
During my primary surgery the doctor removed too much of a dorsal hump. There is some pain on the boney bridge area when I push on it and feels bumpy and irregular. He performed a lateral osteotomy without using spreader grafts and now my nose looks sunken in at the bone region and to thin. It also feels like the nasal bones are really really short. What is causing this and can this be corrected with a revision?
