Hello, I’ve undergo rhinoplasty 6 months ago and completely regret my decision. I honestly feel much prettier with my old nose. I always loved my nose I was just convinced by fillers that I’d be much more beautiful if it was smaller. I couldn’t be more incorrect. I haven’t stopped crying since the procedure. My main concern is wanting to know if I could get similar results to my old nose. My surgeon didn’t changed the shape but reduced the size and added rib cartilage to bridge and tip. Please
