Revision Rhinoplasty: Struggling to Feel Like Myself Again - Advice Needed

More about Rhinoplasty

I had primary rhinoplasty 2 months ago, hoping to achieve a more balanced and natural look. Unfortunately, the results have left me feeling disconnected from my appearance. I had an aquiline nose with high radix before the surgery but now it is upturned and has low radix( I also don't like the current tip of the nose, the wings look wider now but I feel like the main problem is the radix). Actually the profile of my nose looks good, but the way it looks from the front is very unsettling for me. I just no longer recognize myself. Due to the reduced radix, the inner corners of my eyes have formed epicanthic fold. To make it short, this nose doesn't feel like it suits my face and my identity.

My goal now is to have a nose that feels more in harmony with my face and makes me look like myself again. I have been told my current nose looks "fine", but I feel it's not right for me, I just hate it. I am considering revision rhinoplasty but am nervous about the risks and finding the right surgeon. 

Has anyone here felt the same way after rhinoplasty? Did revision help you feel like yourself again? Are there surgeons you'd recommend for cases like mine?

Thank you so much for reading and for any advice or stories you can share.

PS. The first six photos is my nose before.
