Would it be possible to get my old bulbous nose back? Can septal cartilage be used? (Photo)

Asked By:Eddie001 in Woodside, NY

I had a rhinoplasty maybe 7 months ago. I asked the doc is he could make my nose look less bulbous which he did but i don't like it. The change was minimal but I honestly regret doing this because now my nose looks too thin for my face. I have an Apointment with the doctor set for next week to discuss if he can make my nose look bulbous again like it was before. He told me he used the closed technique for my procedure but i was wondering, would it be possible to make my nose look bulbous again?
