Septorhinoplasty Biggest Mistake of my Life! - Geelong, AU

Over 4 months ago my life changed for the worse. Most of my adult life I have thought my nose too big and wide especially when I smiled however I liked my profile. I have always been told I Was attractive but as I got older the compliments were less. My self esteem was so low that I thought that if I got the rhinoplasty I would look amazing and feel better about my appearance. Despite being told by numerous people including the plastic surgeon and my husband they didn't think I need a rhinoplasty. Deep down I knew I was attractive with my current nose but thought if I get a minor adjustment slight dorsum narrowing and bump removed and tip refinement I would look a better version of my self. How wrong I was. The day the cast was removed I was disgusted and felt sick I looked ridiculous but was told its swelling and way too early to judge so I continued on my way hoping the result would eventually become what I had imagined. I feel now the dorsum is too narrow and too much removed making the tip look more bulbous than before. It's too small and short for my face. Also my breathing is noisy and impaired in the right nostril and I can't breath through my nose when lying down at night. I'm in a nightmare! I cannot believe I did this to myself in the hope of being happy. I'm also annoyed with the plastic surgeon for telling me I didnt need a rhinoplasty but doing it anyway and not explaining the risks or recovery process properly if I had have been properly informed which I thought I was as i would never have gone ahead. He was so blasé about it being minor and even though I have thick skin it will be fine you'll be really happy with it. He was almost arrogant and cocky about it (alarms bells) If you have a nose or anything for that matter that you think requires a minor change do yourself a favour and work on your self esteem before going under the knife in the hope you will look a better version of yourself. Chances are you will be disappointed and the recovery process is not worth it. Waiting and hoping that it will improve is painful and exhausting. I Can never go back and change my decision and that is the hardest. Words cannot describe the pain and regret I feel after doing this. I wish I had found this site prior to me getting the surgery. The amount of things that go wrong and dissatisfied people after rhinoplasty I have read about on here is astounding. It is obvious now that in seeking perfection only comes disappointment and depression. PleAse love yourself for your unique self and don't change with plastic surgery.
