Plastic Surgery gone WRONG - Any chance of free repair?

In September of 2008, I underwent a Rhinoplasty (nose job) at a well known clinic in Wellesley, MA. I paid a pretty hefty price (Over $7,000) to have the bone shaved down on the bridge, removing a pretty large bump. My nose on both sides near the cheeks so the nose could be pushed together in the middle, making the bridge appear the correct "new" size. To much the smaller bridge, the doctor was supposed to removed cartilage at the TIP of my nose and reshape it as it had been round and slightly bulbous even prior to the surgery. Fast forward nearly 2 years now, I have been left with a very bulbous tip. Not only did he seem to fail to reshape the "roundness" in the tip of the nose, there are these 2 small "horns" protruding from the tip. This gives the appearance of the nip of my nose rising up like a ramp. These bumps are very hard and while fairly small, ruin the entire appearance of my nose. They seem to be a good amount of scar tissue lumped together at the tip of my nose. Do I really have any way here to "complain" and hope this doctor will consider fixing it for free or at reduced cost? He is well known and I am not willing to say he is a quack, but I essentially paid for my nose to look 5x worse than it did prior to the surgery. I was very diligent in taking care of it, and now I am left with these rocks at the tip of my nose... when it was supposed to be shaped correctly, not mutilated. Do I have any grounds for ANYTHING here? Few spelling mistakes, I was in a rush. I meant to say the bone was broken on both sides of my cheeks so the nose could be met together at it's new size.

1. Yes. I have heard many cases where plastic surgery has gone wrong. Go into the clinic where you received the treatment and complain about the results. See what you can do. It might be worth a lawsuit and sue them to get money for your suffering, but it might be too much money to pay for a lawyer when you could just pay to have it fixed.
