So this is a very sensitive issue for me. I had had a rhinoplasty done when I was 20years old. And now I'm not satisfied with the results. I think they butchered my nose. But everyone says that my nose is fine etc. You will see it has serious flaws!! I'm trying to not think about it and just continue my life, because I'm afraid that I will never be pleased. But I consistently find my self touching my nose and feeling all the bumps etc. I can breathe better than before I think (not sure cause I have poor memory). Should I get a revision? Info:Two doctors are supposedly the ones that did the procedure. One was an otorhinolaryngologist (who did the part that had to do with the functioning) and the other was a plastic surgeon (who did the appearance part) that's all I KNOW. I can't possibly know what happened in the room. To me it's better than my previous nose, but now there's like a "sharp" bump on the right of the nose's tip. The two nostrils are UNEVEN and under the tip of the nose is like a hard part which still hurts if I pressure it AND has lots of bumps as well. FYI it's been 2 years since the procedure. At times as in the pictures down I feel like" it's ok, it's fine , don't ask for perfection there's no perfection besides it's better than before". But others as in the collage (where I'm obviously pissed off and do not care at all about my pose) I'm like "WHAT THE FUUUCK?" I did visit the plastic surgeon one day and explained the situation ( plus the fact that inside of one nostril is like a kind of a chunk of skin) and the one woman that was part of the plastic surgeon's team, the one that took a look at me (so not the actual doctor that did the procedure) told me that it seemed" proportionate " from the front and advised me to not enforce myself in another procedure (aka revision rhinoplasty). Months after I feel like my nose is awful. Should I get a revision rhinoplasty? What if it gets worse? Are any of you plastic surgeons? Should I let it go?

PS collage is no makeup close ups for various angles (please don't mind my overall appearance, lol). Second photo me before the nose job. Third just so you can see the big picture WITH glasses. Next a weird angle. And last a SLIGHTLY better angle of the nose... I guess.

Also none of them has photoshop or filters. Last one is the camera, actually the phone.
Is my nose that bad? Should I get a revision rhinoplasty?
Ya well I can see why you have an issue. Doing all that and still not having the perfect nose makes little sense
I’d just leave it the way it was. But since you already crossed the line. I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you do it a bit more to get it how you want it
But that’s you Personally I’d keep what’s natural to begin with

Yeah... No I never regretted it. as I see my old self and certainly like me more than before, plus I always wanted to do it. But I do regret not doing more research on who to pick as a doctor...
And I know it's not a big thing to do another one. But I'm afraid of 1) making it worse and 2) falling in the vicious never ending search for perfection.
Your nose is not 100%symetrical but it is in NO WAY unattractive? It's a little odd but I like odd and unusual stuff. It's very sweet and yet fits your face!!! If you want a Kim k nose that matches all the rest, get a surgeon.

Yeah it is indeed in noooo way symmetrical. Haha. But no I don't want a nose that the job is visible. Never did. I just wanted a more pleasant look. But since I myself have moments when I like it, I'm thinking of sticking with it.
There is nothing unappealing about who you are? If you want a cookie cutter face, go get one! If you want your own face, embrace it. It's actually very beautiful.
Oh the one picture of you has been one of my favorites. To me, it's striking and unforgettable.
You've used it in the past. To me, it's a great picture - one of those pictures which makes a guy feel "OMG, who is this girl? I need to find out if she is available and then get the courage to ask her out if she is!" Not exactly love at first sight, but "intense interest at first sight" - if I was vastly younger and single...
I don't think I've seen you in over a year even though, for all I know, you come on daily.
B T W, if you did get rhinoplasty, it's going to be more involved because you likely have a deviated septum, so, to "correct" your nose, they'd need to correct the deviated septum and that can be a problem. Look at Michael Jackson.
Oh ok something to seriously think about. Thank you so much for the nice comments, though 😊 and hey now you've seen me without makeup and different haircut😂 😂
I don't ever remember seeing you any other way than the original picture I displayed.
May I ask: Are you a Jewish girl? You can answer in private if you want. The reason I ask is your pendant in the final picture. I've seen similar pendants on Jewish girls that I knew growing up.
No I'm not Jewish. Actually the necklace is a representation of my zodiac sign gemini (two identical people standing together) and was a gift from my godfather when I was a newborn 🙂
Your nose is perfect please dont change it why it makes sad that you are insecure

Yeah it's truly sad I'm insecure. I have to admit that. I'm working hard on boosting myself up. But it's hard... thank you however for the encouragement 🙂
you are absolutely stunning on a different level I looked at ur pic multiple times just thinking she’s so so pretty!!! You have super pretty facial features, I don’t think you need it at all tbh
Well, kinda both. Years ago, when I was young. My nose was big, the bridge was wide. And I kept having nose bleeds, my family doctor wrote a referral I get septoplasy. Which, I did. The bridge was not as wide, but still looked the same. Now around during the healing process, I was watching my nieces who were month old babies. They accidentally hit me across the face with their bottle. And from then on I have been having clear liquid coming out. And now my nose is asymmetrical. It’s not too obvious facing forward. But if I turn right is straight, if I turn left it goes down. Now, to this point, I just want rhinoplasty so it can be straightened.
Yeah I get it! You have to be really really careful after nose surgery for sure. Just know that there is a possibility of complications post surgery. After I got the bandages etc off I was bleeding sooo much for a week+. I was in and out of the hospital with the plastic surgeon because obviously something wasn't right, my nose was possibly hurt from inside. Whenever I went to her she would stuff my nose with bandages with medicine like REALLY REALLY deep! REALLY. I would scream of pain. My mom saw the procedure once and told me that she didn't think it would go any deeper but it did! Plus the other doctor couldn't care less. He told me to just go to the hospital and they will take care of me. Whereas the plastic surgeon was coming from her home to the hospital to look at me. During Christmas period! I am 90% sure that when the othorinolarigologyst took the bandages off the first time, he hurt my nose somewhere because he was SERIOUSLY aggressive with the machine they use and put deep in the nostrils to suck all the "junk" I guess. That was the worst pain I have ever felt. And I've broken bones, I've twisted ankles (which I know aren't the most serious accidents, obviously, but still just to say that I've felt other kinds of pain throughout my life, lol😋). HOWEVER if you feel the need of getting the job done I won't discourage you, at all. Firstly I don't have the right to🙂. And secondly I totally get the feeling of not liking something about yourself. PLUS I know I would do it, too! So good luck on anything you decide on doing. 😁😁
Wow, I’m so sorry you went through that. I understand, during surgery day for the septoplasy. I was dehydrated but wasn’t allowed to drink anything. So one of the nurses tried to inject IV into my arm. But I told them I need a butterfly needle since I have small vains. She did not listen and kept using the larger needles bruising my arm, not being able to find the vains. Then the doctor and nurses kept using different parts of my body to find a vain to inject the anesthesia. Since I was crying and screaming cause of the large needles being jammed into me. They finally knocked me with sleeping gas. That once I woke up after surgery. My whole body was bruised. And the healing days, I could not breathe through my nose. Cause of the plastic bandages in there. It felt like it was poking my brain. And I kept having dry blood around my nose. So, I’m sorry you went through that.
And thank you for understanding my situation as well.
