Nose Appears Too Short and Distance Between Nose and Lip Too Long Four Months After Rhinoplasty, What To Do? (photo)

DMQ
I had an open rhinoplasty done on April 29th, 2013. My nose was broken during the procedure. I hate my new nose. I regret this terribly. I feel it was too aggressive and now looks too short although the doctor said he didn't shorten it at all. Also, now since my tip is up, the distance between my nose and upper lip appears very long making me look masculine. I am beside myself and don't know what to do. I had to take out a loan I couldn't afford just to have this done the first time.Please help.
