8 months post op. Didn't think I would still be insecure about my nose.

My "new" nose isn't what I had hoped for.
It's been a long time since I last posted. I was satisfied with my nose immediately after surgey but after a few months of healing I'm not sure I made the right choice with who did my surgery. My nose is still VERY assymetrical from my left profile. The tip is still bulbous and has cartilage poking out on the left side of the tip. Very assymetrical from the front and just over all not what I had expected.
I'm disappointed, Before surgery I thought that this far along post op I would be so happy and my nose would be the last thing id be worrying about. I'm still in the same place I was before I even booked the surgery.
Why could I just be born with a normal nose haha
I'll admit it's probably 30% better than what it used to be but the result should have been great not what it is now.
On the hunt for some one to give me the nose I should have had post op. Time to shell out more $$$$$$$$$!

Almost 5 months post op.
It's been a while since I posted.
I'm to the point where I hardly think about my nose. I really only think of it when I'm taking pictures. Some days I love the new shape of my nose and some days I pick at the "flaws" I see on it.
Regardless of any "flaws" I still think it's much better than the way my nose used to look.
At times in some pictures my nose looks crooked, sometimes the tip of my nose looks too projected, sometimes the bump on my nose comes back and sometimes it's just the way I want it.
Before my rhinoplasty I had more of an issue with the way my nose looked from the front and from an angle not so much the side. Now, I I'm still not completely satisfied with the way it looks from the front or at an angle but I don't have an issue with the side anymore.
I came into this hoping this would be the one and only time I got surgery on my nose. I've come to terms with myself and realized perfect is impossible. There will always be some asymmetry but I think I will end up getting a revision just to fix the couple little things I want different and further improve my nose. Next time I see Dr Berkowitz we will talk about the revision! Until then I will stay patient and wait for more of the swelling to go down.
Please let me know if you've had a similar experience or any thoughts or questions you have :)
Happy healing!

Picture comparison. Love the results.
I still can't believe what Dr. Berkowitz was able to do with my nose!!! He is so talented and he litteraly gave me the most flattering nose I could ever want. The comparison is so weird to me. I can't believe that's what my nose looked like.
I have never felt so confident in my life. For the first time in my life I can actually believe my boyfriend when he says in beautiful. I can look in the mirror and think to myself that I'm pretty! I'm so happy. I can't thank Dr. Berkowitz enough for this new nose of mine.
