The dorsum can be approached with either an internal or external rhinoplasty for both primary and revision surgeries. Onlays can be removed, reshaped and replaced. There are times when the scar tissue will have filled in the area around the graft and a much smaller or no graft may be necessary...

I'm sorry you are discouraged at this point after surgery. It is not uncommon for the nose to be upturned in the immediate aftermath of surgery. Over the coming weeks and months, you should see some improvement. Make sure to keep your surgeon updated so they are aware of your concerns. Best of luck!
