I hate my nose after major sinus surgery and revision rhinoplasty

I HATE my nose after major sinus surgery and revision rhinoplasty. Original surgery was in early 2002, but I sustained a break while pregnant with my youngest that healed improperly and infected my bone. It deviated my septum again, prolapsed my airways (over 75% restrictions between both nostrils), left me with virtually no cartilage and an overgrowth of scar tissue. I know it has only been 15 days since my complicated surgery and that I have enormous swelling but is there anything I can do about this before the 6 month/one year mark? I hate it so much, I'm going to ask to have the splint put back on so I don't have to look at myself. The profile is tolerable but my nose was so different before on each side, I don't know if that's why one nostril looks atrocious. 

I am going to ask for a local corticosteroid injection, too.
