Severely Depressed and Unhappy with Rhinoplasty Results?

11 days post-op, I am extremely unhappy with my new nose.My dorsal is still big and I wish I had reduced its size a bit more than I asked for.My nose is slightly crooked , and I asked for a very pointy tip which doesnt look pointy at all. my tip is currently very round and i dont know if its swelling or if my surgeon didnt make it pointy enough. Anyways I'm wondering if this is my final result.. i know it will change later on but how much will it change? Should revision be considered?
