4.5 Weeks After Rhinoplasty, my Tip is Too High and Nostrils Show Too Much, What Should I Do?

SensaiM
I had surgery 4.5 weeks ago. My tip still has the 'piggy' look. I used to have a longer nose, and no nostril show. Now, my nostrils are center of attention on my face and I dislike this look. The nostrils are also now uneven, and one is incredibly large (very different from the other). This has put me in a deep depression and I'm too embarrassed to see family or friends. I was told the tip will drop but it has not. I did not ask for nose to be shortened/raised or nostril sizes to change. Help!
