The hanging nose problem solved but now i have upturned and short nose instead.
I mostly regret doing the op to fix my old 'Normal' nose.
I hope the upturnness will go down after swelling or with another op.
I am not very happy right now. I wish i had seen more doctors or simply being happy with my old nose.

UPDATE - 1 MONTH: Not sure if nose is getting better or i am getting used to it, but i decided to be more contented with the results. Still not happy with a bit shortness of the nose and having upturned, more feminine tip, also nose looks fat now as it got shorter.

Doctor advice to massage the tip 3 times a day for 2-3 minutes to remove the swelling faster and move the tip down to normal, 90° position, where he claims he fixed it.

Here are some photos of 1 month.

UPDATE - 2 Months: I stopped begin conscious about my nose, not regretting having an OP as the results seem to me quite good. it has been only two month and hope some more good changes are also to come.

Upturned nose is less noticeable and looks straight now, although there is a sensible difference from right and left side of the nose. Here are some new photos for comparison.

Thank you all for supportive comments. Recalling how miserable i felt after the OP, it was a great help.

Great review?

I am just stopping by to join your adoring fan club and tell you how great your nose looks! It is a change to you and I think even with the most perfect result, people can feel insecure about it at first because you can feel like you have to learn how to carry yourself all over again. You look every bit a man, though, don't be concerned thinking it is feminine looking! I noticed your beard before the nose, anyway :)

What the hospital and who was a doctor. I want to do. If you can come to the information **********.

Your nose is perfect !!!

LCKill 10 May 2013

i can understand why you thought it was too upturned at first, but honestly i think it looks AMAZING. it really suits your face and is perfectly shaped without being feminine at all. you look great :)

Thnx :)

Your nose looks great! Did you have two surgeries? Was the last one a revision? In any case I think your nose looks great from the front and the side view. You must be thrilled by now. It will only improve with time.

Thank you a lot. I did not have a revision. the photo sequence might be a bit mixed though :)

Hi! Like others have said, you are a very handsome man and your new nose makes you look more approachable than your former nose. As the swelling continues to subside more manly definition will be revealed. Happy healing :-)

Rachaelp 10 May 2013

You really honestly look so handsome!! I think it is just that it is such a change from old nose it took you time to get used to it. So happy you are more happy with results! If only we could see your eyes but then we would all probably fall in love! Lol!

hottie!

The new nose honestly looks sooooo good. Really handsome from what I can see. You're probably just nit picking all the small details but when other people look at it they don't even notice that stuff. You have nothing to worry about it looks great!

You looked handsome with your old nose but even more handsome with your new one. I think your new nose looks great - front and profile views. I just think it will take some time for you to get used to the new look.

Rayah7 10 May 2013

It's looking better and better and again, you are SO handsome! Enjoy your good looks. ;)

bujumbura 11 May 2013

haha, you have to stop spoiling me with compliments.

Rayah7 11 May 2013

haha no! You're so good looking and you need to know it! ;) Maybe it's just because I have a thing for beards but I don't think so....I think you just look great all around! lol

Matilda24 10 May 2013

Glad that you are now more satisfied with your results, it is looking much better now. I see what you mean about the upturned tip but i don't think it's to the point where it looks feminine. I think you look very attractive!

katerina25 10 May 2013

From the front your nose looks great, makes your face very attractive. While your profile is rotated up compared to before, the surgeon gave you a straight profile which for your face looks masculine. You need to be thankful your surgeon didn't scoop out your nose and created a curve, then you'd look feminine. You look great. With time the tip will drop more, it's natural.. You just need to be patient

Who was your surgeon? You look great by the way :)

bujumbura 10 May 2013

Thnx. My OP was not done in the US.

stephaniek21 26 Mar 2013

Dude, your nose looks really good. Not just saying that :) Seriously, it doesn't look feminine or upturned. Especially from the front - you definitely still look very masculine with your new nose. Wait and see how you feel but I don't think you have should have any regrets at all.

Jackson21 25 Mar 2013

the tip usually drops. mine dropped significantly, however I can't pinpoint at what time frame it dropped I just noticed when looking at b4 and after pics from 2 wks post op to 3 months post op.

lola9003 25 Mar 2013

You look great.Don't overanalize it so early on.Im 3 1/2 wks post op so i know how ya feel but its way to early to make judgements.And once again you look really good and in no way do you look feminine,Your tip can stay swollen for 6months to a year so it will look upturned till the swelling stops.good luck!

Rachaelp 25 Mar 2013

I think you look great almost a bit Brad Pitt! Seriously I think your nose looks good on you and it does seem to be dropping! I have my op in two days time and I am worried about an upturned nose though my surgeon said he will have to raise the tip a few millimetres otherwise it would look really long maybe that would have happened to yours if it hadn't of been lifted?

Rayah7 25 Mar 2013

Looks like the tip is dropping a bit to me! Looks great. You are so handsome! lol Just had to say it again.
