The picture on the left was taken 8 months after the revised septoplasty. My doctor claims the shape of my nose has not changed. The nose is in fact, shorter and with an unattractive dorsal hump The tip of my nose is still numb, and my lips seem to have changed shape too. Is this been seen by anyone before? What is the best approach for me to have this corrected? This is my 3rd procedure on my nose

In all likelihood, you took off a small crust of dried blood which started rebleeding. I would get in to see your surgeon, so that you can be examined.
The photographs you have posted here show a nose that is crooked because of the central support of the nose - the Septum. So if you indeed did have a septoplasty, then it did not address the crookedness of the nose. You probably need to go back to your surgeon and discuss this issue.
