Getting my old nose back or similar! Help me please.

DoresMay 22, 2016
I had done a rhinoplasty with a board certified surgeon. my main goal is to get my nose smaller in shape overall. however, the surgeon defined my tip which i don't like. and my nostrils are shown and my columella is hanging and they were e never a problem before( i want to reverse that like the way it was before) . i know its impossible to get my nose back 100% but at least 70% if it could. basically what is the maximum can be done to have my nose similar to before?
