Please help. Words can't explain the emotional rollercoaster I'm going through. My nose was what I was ashamed of my whole life. Finally I was able to get a rhinoplasty which was my dream. I was so happy. I kinda liked the shape but I wanted it overall smaller, cuter. A lovely button nose with a round tip, a better version of mine.
