I had a nose job done a month ago. I thought I was going to the best because he is chief of plastic surgery at a hospital,but I was wrong! He says that my skin was thin & my tip cartilage was so screwed up, thats why my pre-nose was very boxy. Now my nose is going back to the exact nose I had. I dont get i? He told me that if I wanted it fixed he would have to put more stitches in there, but he'd need to open me up again!He says my nose was so bad that this is the best I can get? What can I do?

10 months after surgery it is unlikely that this is just swelling. Although I haven't examined you it is probably secondary to an elevation of the underlying bone or cartilage. It can be removed with a relatively easy procedure which you may choose to have done under local anesthesia.
Rhinoplasty results take ! year. It looks like the cartilage was done and it will take another 9 months to see the final result --be patient and you should end up with a nice nose!
In my opinion if one is 17 years old it is likely that he will not see see any significant differential growth between the other facial features and the nose.
