Is my nose ever going to look the same? (Photo)

mtmiller4
On Aug. 30, I had a septoplasty with turbinate reduction. I am now 10 months post-op and very regretful. I loved my nose before and now I cry every single day because I hate it. It is so huge and has no shape compared to my old nose. The sides of it bulge out. I was told I would be fully healed by at most a year post-op but my nose is looking otherwise. Is there anything I can do? Did my surgery go wrong?
