Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty/Turbinoplasty. Connecticut, CT

I feel awful to say this after spending 9k to fix my nose and spending 4 weeks in bed, but I really just miss my old nose. Even though it was crooked, large and had a hump, it was MY nose. It was still somewhat proportionate to my face and I was used to that nose on my face. Even though I like my new side profile, I feel that my nose is too small now for my face or what I'm used to. I regret changing what God gave me. I just don't feel like myself I guess. I also have to now take such good care of my nose making sure I don't do anything to disrupt it's healing, whereas before I never thought about it. I could stretch, pull and grab my nose all I wanted before. Now I'm afraid every little thing will interfere with my healing.

I have very clear skin. I used to have some acne years ago but in the past year my skin has been very clear. After my surgery my skin was still doing very well and I had very little bruising. However a week after my surgeon removed my cast, and a few days later I had this awful rash/acne on my skin. I was beyond worried honestly because now I had so many bumps and it itched like crazy. I used coconut oil on it to calm my skin down but it wasn't helping at all, in fact I think it made it worse. 2 weeks after my surgery I went to my surgeon to get my splints/tubes removed and she saw my face and said its acne not a rash. However I was very convinced it was a rash because it was painful and didn't look like acne. She recommended a few different creams for acne and a possible rash. I ended up buying hydrocortisone %1at my local pharmacy and I did put a little on. However I decided to just let my skin heal by itself and stop using both the cream and the coconut oil too the next day. The only thing I would do is apply an ice pack on my skin (not my nose) where it itched for some relief. I would also put a little cold water occasionally on my skin. The rash/acne whatever it was started to go away. Idk if it was a reaction to the cast removal or to my coconut oil or what. I was so freaked out I even thought I had an infection because after my tubes were removed I had a weird smell in my nose which disappeared the next day. I figured the rash was a result of the infection. I kept thinking the worse. I was wrong. My skin is doing a lot better now, just my nose skin feels very weird like after you get a bad sun burn.

I really love my side profile after my surgery. My nose looks SO much smaller and there's no more hump on my nose. However I'm very disappointed with the front view of my nose. I know it's only been less than 3 weeks and it's early in the healing process but my nostrils look very uneven and my columella looks off centered. There is more swelling on one side of my face and this might be affecting my nostrils and tip. I also had an open rhinoplasty so my tip is very numb and tender. I really hope I see an improvement in my nostrils and columella once the swelling goes away. I can't afford to do a revision financially and time wise. Also I heard "fixing" the columella can open up a whole new door of complications.
