Post Rhinoplasty: Do I have an over resected dorsum of my nose? (Photos)

Asked By:mich95 in New York, New York, Verenigde Staten
I got rhinoplasty 3 months ago now. However, I am not satisfied with the result. My nose doesn't look straight at all: my nose tip is appears too big and my nose bridge is too low. Also I do have two dents, one on each side of my nose. What is this and how can this be solved?
