My columella is gone and I feel I look terrible. Will it loosen up over time? (photos)

I received a septorhinoplasty through insurance to improve my breathing two weeks ago. Although we did not discuss this enormous change to my nose prior to surgery, the Dr. pulled in my columella to create tension to straighten the tip of my nose. First, it is SO tight it actually hurts me when I move my face, and second is I feel I look absolutely hideous. Will my tip and columella descend over time and will I look like me again? Will it loosen up over time? If not is this reversible?
