Why are my nostrils flared and wide after rhinoplasty? (photo)

I got a primary septorhinoplasty 7 months ago, had dorsal hump removed, deviated septum corrected, my surgeon broke my bones and when i asked he said osteotomies were preformed and no tip work done (as requested). Now when I smile my nose looks so wide and my nostrils just look huge. What happened? I am very sad with this outcome, do I need a revision?
