Why is my nose so round after rhinoplasty and will it go away? (Photo)

sam12358
I had rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. I'm aware there is quite a bit of swelling that will last up to a year however, my nose isn't even close to the shape I asked for. I see other pictures of rhinoplasty's and their noses look good and pointy right after the cast comes off. Does this mean my nose will stay round and not become as pronounced as I want it? I really wanted it curved and pointy but it doesn't even look close. Please help!?!? Feeling full of regret.
