Not happy with bridge rhinoplasty results because it makes me look older. Is this a matter of time? Do I need revision?

Post-op, however, I see my bridge is not the same as before as with the nose filler, even appearing less symmetrical, smooth, and even lower with somewhat of a dent between the eyebrows.
