Question

European Rhinoplasty for African-Cuban nose - possible with revision surgery?

I had rhinoplasty to narrow my nostrils and to refine the tip 10 months ago. As soon as the plaster came off I knew that it hadn't gone right but I waited a few months & I didn't see any improvement. In fact the nose looked wider & the tip more bulbous than before.

I want my nose to be as European as it possibly can like Michael Jackson's after his 1st or 2nd rhinoplasty. I am mixed African/Cuban & would like facial features to match my other facial features better. Is this possible?
