Rhinoplasty Results Don't Match Projected Outcome Photo

izzy2008
I had rhinoplasty, cheek implants, and blepharoplasty 12 days ago. I had a hump on my nose and the bridge was too wide. Also, my nose was too long and kind went downward at the tip when I smiled. I had a deviated septum also, so that was fixed, which was the main reason to even see the doctor and the rest followed. I'm so scared b/c my nose looks terrible! It's still long and wide at the bridge, and I still have a hump on my nose. From the side profile I can tell somewhat of a difference, but it doesn't look like the Photoshop picture he showed before the surgery. Is this normal?? I was always told how beautiful I was all the time before surgery now I'm scared I made myself ugly and wasted $12,000!!!
