Revision rhinoplasty looks terrible. Do I really need to wait until it’s been a year to have it fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:mnasuti in Washington, District of Columbia

I had a rhinoplasty 3 yrs ago and my nose was shortened too much. Went for a revision and the doctor put in rib cartilage to lengthen it but the result is now too long and big for my face. My nostrils retract when I smile and the graft on the tip points down giving me a witchy look. The tip has no definition and he also built up the bridge too much which we never discussed. It’s a well-constructed nose but does not fit my face at all. Is this fixable? And do I need to wait until it’s been a yr
