Is it true that I can't make my nose smaller with revision rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Asked By:hannabel_ny in Los Angeles, California

My primary rhinoplasty doctor put donor dermis on my nose bridge and a bit on my tip to make my nose look slimmer. He says that he didn't shave my original cartilage and only got rid of the bumps. Now my nose is projected too far from my face and the bridge is too high. My nose is originally pretty big, for an Asian female. I asked for a smaller, feminine, sloped nose but now it's straight, masculine and too projected. I'm so unhappy and more ugly now.
