Need Revision-rhinoplasty Info and Help? (photo)

Hi, I am almost 7 months post-op closed male rhinoplasty and since the day I got my cast off I am very depressed. My whole face completeley changed. half of dorsal height was taken down from the bridge. Now I have a flat bridge. Also the tip cartilages have been removed aggresively resulting in I think scarred nostrils. Also I think I have an inverted V. I got noticeable dents on my sidewalls. Can I get some info about my nose and possible treatments(grafts needed?) Thank you for your time.
