Fake pig looking nose after rhinoplasty cast removal. What should I do to make the tip drop? Will taping help? (Photo)

iranishell
I insisted that I wanted a very natural change and my plastic surgeon agreed that he would not lift the tip or give me an unnatural nose. However, my cast was removed on day 7 and I have been crying every since. It has been 10 days since my surgery and my nose is very pig like and looks very fake. Can taping drop the tip? I know patience is key but I am just going crazy with how awful my results are. My immediate results after cast removal were even worse than the pictures above.
