I had my tonils removed and I was supposed to get my nasal bone straightened, and when I woke up the doctor did a little nose job, that was mentioned before the surgery, he said to help me breath better,but I dont like the look and I still breath the same.
Can I get my old nose back?

It sounds like you had a deviated septum which the doctor corrected. It's not a bone in the strictest sense, it's the cartilage that separates the sides of your nose. If it is deviated to one side or the other, it affects how well you breath through your nose- it can even prevent you from breathing through one side completely. You didn't say when you had this surgery done, but it may be you are still swollen internally from the repair, which is why you don't notice any change in the way you breath. And most people with a deviated septum don't notice anything odd about the way they breath in the first place, so it wouldn't seem as if you breathed through the nose any differently. Although you might not care for the look of the restraightened nose, you don't really want it replaced "out of joint" as it were. Now that doesn't mean you can't have a nose job to reshape your nose to something you find more esthetically pleasing- but you will need to visit a plastic surgeon for that. ENT's don't shape noses, they work with what's already there. While you probably don't really want your old nose back, given it wasn't aligned correctly- you can always have it reshaped.
