“Wanted a Symmetric and Straight Nose”
Spent: $9,500 in USA
Pro: n/a
Con: Bump is still there. Profile is strange. Crookedness is still there. Front became wider and less attractive.
Why am I did it:
I always had a big hook 'eagle' nose. I hated it but over the time I was quite comfortable with it. But in the last 6-8 years I've also noticed a asymmetry from the frontal view. That drove me crazy and I generally tried to live my entire life to show only my best profile in 24/7. After a while I've decided it has to be ended and if there is a solution I have to get that solution. I wanted to fix the crookedness and in one step to improve profile and remove the hump. My two 3/4 profiles were different and I wanted to have the same (the better one) on both sides.
Results:
Extreme swelling, shock, almost nervous breakdown on the first weeks. Huge researches about rhinoplasty on the net. As the swelling went down during the first two months I can see the crookedness is still there, instead of making it symmetric by structrure, looks like it just 'filled up' on side to make it wider and straighter. The place between my eyes also straighter and it gives a less intelligent look. Profile is not sraight, the hump is still there, but instead of a slight curve there is a sharp linear shape toward the tip from the hump, looks very unnatural. The tip is still very bulbous, and nose looks terrible from both 3/4 views. Bridge is more wide, broad from any views. The whole nose looks optically and physically bigger and wider. I can't make a nice photo from my favorite view as before and as I was told to. Everything is changed, and not in a good way. My columella is also lowered that makes me looks like a baby elephant.

My Doctor: name not provided
He might did the best, but this is not what I expected. Overally, I fell myself more ugly than ever before. I lost my character and my concerns haven't disappeared but grown bigger.
