What Are the Varieties of Nasal Implants?

I had rhinoplasty one month ago and my doctor put an implant in my nose without my permission. Now the tip of nose is very up and wider than it's uper bone. I think the implant my doctor have used is not like the picture of implant that i search in net (L type or I type or even dorsum style). When i touch it, it's hardness begins from edge of nose bone and two side of my nose, even the bridge is very hard. It sounds like rounded cap implant.By the way my dr is nervous so i cant ask my questions.
