It took surgery for me to realize that my pre-surgery nose was unique and beautiful, and i realize now that body dysmorphic disorder probably lead me to get the nose surgery. Now that its done i realize that i loved my old nose, and am now extremely depressed that theres nothing i can do to bring it back. i currently hate my new, unnatural asymmetrical feeling/looking nose. How can i feel better about my decision, because i'm tired of the feelings of self loathing?

Nothing good will happen if you continually touch your nose shortly after rhinoplasty. There is no advantage to touching the nose, but you may cause problems.
Every plastic surgeon has a very specific routine following removal of the splint or cast from the nose. Please follow your surgeon's advice as he knows what he did during the operation and how to get the best possible result for you.
You have asked a great question, since the topic of symmetry comes up all the time.
My general answer is if God and or 5 billion years of evolution cannot produce perfect symmetry in our face and bodies, a patient should not expect perfect symmetry with 3-4 hours of surgery!
I am glad...
