Will update the title and worth it rating at 3 months post-op

I'm just gonna show the smile only. I'm about 4.5 months post-op and my smile is VERY different. Notice how one entire smile line has disappeared (right-top). On the same side it has disappeared, the corner of my mouth doesn't extend the same as the other corner and see all those weird crumples at the corner? What even is that? It seems like something small but IRL I look like I'm straining to smile and that I have a bunch of weird folds at that one corner. It's really sad. It's at the point where I don't laugh or have a good time cos I feel so f-ing ugly all the time which just kind of compounds the depression. I'll get over it with a psychologist but this is definitely not worth it. Before, I said this surgery wasn't worth it due to poor post-op care but now I don't think it's worth it because of the procedure itself. If I was aware that it COULD make my smile worse, I would not have done it. If you have a beautiful smile, do not risk it. You will hate feeling joy if you land up in my position and there is no worse feeling in the world than feeling like your happiness is a hideous thing.

I think this is basically how I will look and now it's just a matter of the scar healing. I'll try and update pics but it isn't really a dramatic result. It's a nice one but not dramatic. I think the biggest difference for me is actually in my profile (not posted). I think the work is tasteful and if he took more off I think I would look more "done" than I would like to, though I don't like 3 more mms would've been so bad. I'm hoping that those mms can be done with botox and filler. I'm not too worried about scarring, I think it'll be pretty cleared up in a couple more months? I'm not sure but again, I'm not worried about it cos definitely in the course of years it will be completely gone and I know this from all the skate and surf scars I have on the tip of my chin that nobody can see, most of which I would just butterfly and move on with, so that healing process was not cute lol!
As for the bleeding on my nose, Epstein prescribed me some mupirocin and I've been seeing his doctor colleagues in my city ever since. I am much happier being in their care -- they are super responsive. There is no infection and I should be good to go as long as I keep up my care routine and keep following directions.
In a year I'll assess if I need a revision. So that's it from me! I think posting any more pictures would just be overkill and I hope this was helpful.

Hi! I'll still post the pics as they come along because some of you might not care as much about post-op as I do and just want to find a doctor that can create results like the one I have. Last night, when I was putting Vaseline on the incision line, I noticed blood on the sterile swab. I then saw a small, bright red, pool of blood around the incision on my left nostril. I cleaned it with alcohol and put bacitracin on it then immediately texted Dr. Epstein who didn't address the problem at all and instead told me to email him -- like I was some sort of nuisance. Mind you, he initiated post-op care with me via text and this seemed urgent enough where it would probably warrant the doctor's attention rather than a nurse. Anyway, this isn't the first time Epstein's office has been cold toward me. It's been happening the whole time but I was willing to look past it cos he seemed like he cared though maybe his staff didn't. After last night, thought, I am definitely realizing a fish rots from the head; the staff doesn't care cos he doesn't.

I'll be seeing a different doctor for post-op going forward and got an appointment within an hour of him telling me to go away. Super sucks cos I paid WAY MORE than the going rate for this surgery and now I've got to pay even more for another doctor to make sure I recover OK.
