At 7 months I can't say I am extremely happy with the result

I had a primary rhinoplasty 7 months ago with Dr. Portuese. I found Dr. Portuese on Instagram and fell in love other the work that I saw on his profile. I called the office and scheduled a consultation. It was fast and the people who helped schedule the consultation were very nice. My consult came and I was very happy with how it went. Dr. Portuese noticed right away that I had a crooked nose and told me he would straighten it. He said he would fix my tip so that it did not droop when I smiled and he said he would bring my bridge down to give me a nice slope to give my face a more feminine look. It's like he read my mind on everything that I hated about my nose and told me he would fix it. He asked about any breathing issues and I expressed that I did have breathing problems and he said he would fix that too. Day of surgery came and everyone at his office was so nice and made sure to help calm my nerves. I saw Dr.Portuese before my surgery and he looked at my nose and again pointed out everything that he was going to fix. Bulbous tip,droopy tip, bridge, crookedness and my breathing issues. When I woke up from surgery the nurses were there and then Dr.Portuese came to check on me which I appreciated a lot. He assured me that my nose was very straight and that he had given me a beautiful slope and small tip. I remember feeling so happy. At the moment I am 7 months post op and I know that my nose is still healing and recovery for a rhinoplasty takes about a year but I am still patiently sitting and waiting to see my actual final result. At 7 months I can't say I am extremely happy with the result of my nose. I still have a droopy tip. I still have breathing problems, and I do not have a cute feminine slope. At this point I don't know how much more my nose will change I am hoping it somehow does so that I can feel confident in my nose. I am rating a 4/5 because everyone at the office and Dr. Portuese we're extremely nice and answered any question that I had and the process of setting an appointment and the actual day of surgery was so smooth and easy, just not 100% happy with my nose and it doesn't look different from my nose before surgery I still have all of the issues I wanted fixed. I will updated again at 1 year post op to see if anything has changed.

It looks like he didn't support the tip

A year and a half post op.

I am now a year and a half post op. And I’m assuming this is how my nose will now stay. Can’t say I’m content with the results at all. I feel like my nose looks exactly the same it did before surgery with very subtle changes. It sucks because one works hard to save up for a big surgery like this for there not to be a drastic positive change in what made/makes you super insecure. I did have an appointment shortly after the original post was made and Dr.Portuese did say I can undergo another surgery for a small fee and he can lift the tip up slightly to give my nose a more straight appearance but honestly very scared to under go another survey and spend more money because what if it still looks the same after or maybe worse? Especially because I feel like both side profiles look very different so will a small tip lift really fix my nose and make it look nicer? So I’ve left it as is..
