So it's been 8 months already. The function of the nose is still way worse than before the surgery, but I'm managing. I'm just scared of the long term negative side effects of breathing a lot more through my mouth than before, but hopefully they're not too bad.
I still love the way my nose looks at least, and when I look at pictures of my before-nose now, I'm seriously glad I went through with this. It really made me look a lot more feminine. (Adding pics later)

So, I'm 2 months in now, and I am still happy with the appearance of my nose. But not so happy about the extremely low function of it though. I am still 99% sure I've got a so called internal nasal valve collapse, which means there has been removed too much cartiladge, so internally there is not enough support. Also, I think there might be other problems, especially since my surgeon did say he found an old break in there which he tried to fix. It's odd that I could breath perfectly fine before though, and after he "fixed" it I now breath terrible.
Actually, I could learn to live with my now lessened function, the problem is just that it's not healthy to get so little oxygen in the long run, and also it's not good to breath through the mouth.
I'm seeing the surgeon again next Tuesday, and hopefully he'll then give me some answers. I want to know exactly what was done in my nose so I can show a doctor in Norway if I'll need corrective surgery for this.
My options are to live with this, which will be pretty bad for my health, or get yet another surgery, which I dread extremely because of the risks once again of a bad result either estethically or functionally, or maybe both.
I'm keeping my head up still though, since at least I got a result that LOOKS good, but I apparently had to sacrifice most of the function. Hoping for the best in terms of getting this fixed.

Here is a couple og the front, which you see look crooked. Also one from the side which looks in that lighting, but there is actually a little "dent" in it slightly above tip. Don't know what that is.

You have delicate features so your nose looks great! I sort of have your "before"nose and it makes look all of your face more "rough"than it really is. You look great again
