I'm not happy with my nose (3 Months post op Rhinoplasty)?

DjdfskksxAug 12, 2016
My nose appeared crooked right from the beginning (In cast and at cast removal) The swelling has reduced a lot since but its only making it more visible. I had a tip lift and refinement, hump removal & nostrils made smaller. Sides are nice but I now hate the front especially from angle, I feel like theres no definition and one side is thicker than the other, it looks fat & ugly, could I be a suitable candidate for a revision in the future & what could be done to further imrove my appearance?
