25 Year Old Rhinoplasty. Dallas, TX

I have always been unhappy with my nose. My nostrils were too flared and my tip is too round. I told the PS I wanted the nostrils and tip part to be more narrow, and then he went on for a long time talking about the bridge and the type of procedure he wanted to do. Three weeks post op now, and not sure what to think. I wish I had been more assertive about what I wanted. I feel it is too tall, almost westernized. It is better than what I had before, but unsure about results. I wish my bridge was a little lower. I think I would have been happy even if he had never touched it. I have only been out twice since the surgery. I haven't told anyone but my family and they think I look totally different, and if I hadn't had told them they would recognize that I had gone under the knife right away. A guy friend of mine that I've known for over a decade, but hadn't seen in a year, asked me if I had done something to my face, but didn't know what. A lady that works at this restaurant I go to for carry out once a week outwardly said, "Did you do something different? Surgery? You look prettier." But yeah, like I said, it is better than what I had before, but not exactly what I wanted. I was hoping it was one of those things where only I would notice and no one else would know what I did differently. I'm not sure if I feel any prettier or more confident. Just kind of different and self-conscious.

I had rhinoplasty performed about a year and a half ago. Before, I was unhappy with my large tip and wide nostrils. I discussed this with my surgeon and he said he could make my tip smaller, nostrils more narrow, and my bridge higher. He also recommended a chin implant to balance my side profile.

After surgery I became very insecure of the noticeable differences, because I wanted subtle changes. I eventually grew into my new look a couple of months later and I was overall happy with the results.

I did come back for a revision one year later which was free of charge. I didn't want to revise my tip because I was afraid it would look drastically different again, but now I kind of wish I would have because my tip looks bigger again. I had my nostrils narrowed, but now they are also wider again. My bridge isn't as high anymore.

I know that it would have inevitably change due to swelling, especially for the first few months, and the one year after. But it's made me insecure how my nose keeps changing shape. I feel like it looks like my old nose, but a little bit smaller now.

I want to know what you guys think.
