I had a septoplasty 6 months ago and it changed the appearance of my nose in a negative way - can the change be reversed?

Asked By:kickflip in San Diego, CA

A septoplasty changed the appearance of my nose and has actually made me less attractive - I would have never done it had I known it would change my appearance (the dr. said it wouldn't). Since it only affected the angle of the bottom half of my nose - is there a way to reverse the change without resorting to rhinoplasty (which I don't want). Can the initial deviation be created again, like a reverse septoplasty? Or is there no way to recreate the deviation, thus restoring the appearance?
