What in the world happened? What can be done to regain the projection and shape of my nose? (Photo)

Intuitive913625Sep 25, 2022
I had a septoplasty that led to a seemingly full collapse of my nose. I then had a revision to fix it but I feel the surgeon did whst he wanted instead of what was asked. I never asked for my nose to change, and as you can see, it has drastically. Is there anything I can do to regain the projection and shape? I am now on psychological meds for anxiety and depression since this procedure, and just want to look in the mirror and recognize the nose I see. Thank you.
