Is a shorter rotated nose expected after a revised septoplasty? (photo)

Question

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

Is important to wait at least one year before undergoing another revision rhinoplasty procedure. In addition, a full set of facial photographs are required  and an in-person examination to make a determination about how to proceed. Due to the previous two alterations to the nose, there's been altered anatomy and significant scar tissue formation which makes the procedure even more difficult.
