I wanted my nose to be smaller, more refined with a bit more projection

I got my nose done by Dr. Kosin in August 2022. Now it's April 2024, and my nose is all healed. I'm Hispanic, and I wanted to make my nostrils smaller and refine the tip a bit (it was very bulbous). My profile was already perfect, so I wasn't worried about that. I just wanted my nose to be smaller and more refined, with a bit more projection.

As you can see from the picture, there's been some improvement, maybe about 40-50%. I wish there was a bit more projection and less nostril. No one really noticed I got my nose done, they just think I look better but they can't pinpoint what it is which is good. I am really really glad that I didn't get botched though.

My nostrils look very even, and there are no scars. The only downside is I tend to drip a lot now, especially when I do my makeup or press on my nose, even a year and a half later. Sometimes my breathing isn't the best, but it doesn't affect my life so it's fine. My boyfriend says he does hear me breathe now at night but nothing scary. Before the surgery, my breathing was perfect. I'm grateful Dr. Kosin took me as a patient though because other doctors said I didn't need the surgery or they didn't work on thick skin.

For those wondering, you start looking normal again by the second month, and you'll see the real healed results after about six months. I've seen amazing results from doctors in Turkey now, and maybe I could've done more research to get a bigger and better change in my nose since I did pay $14,000 but overall, I'm satisfied.
