How can I get my nose back? Please help.

Asked By:cruelandunusual in Beirut, LB

Hi there, I had a rhinoplasty about 6 weeks ago. The tip of my nose has been chopped off. How can I get my tip back? What can I do from here? I am depressed and very anxious constantly. Looking at my reflection upsets me beyond belief. Please help me. The surgery was to straighten my TINY hump and to slightly narrow the bones. I was also happy with my tip. He said he ‘refined the tip’ and supported it. He promises he did not shorten my nose. Pictures say otherwise?
