I think I look worse now

ORIGINAL POST

Different from Mock-ups and Too Upturned

I went with a rhinoplasty with Dr Denenberg in May 2021 because of the great reviews. So I wanted to provide a different perspective and possible different results.
I think I look worse now, because my nose is so upturned, the most prominent feature on my face is my nostrils. And every time I look in the mirror I’m reminded I spent a lot of money and now have an obvious surgery nose and pig nose. So that takes a lot of humility. It’s been 3 years, but it was especially shocking the first 6 months; it was kind of startling and scary to look in the mirror with how upturned it was.
The mock-up pictures he sent were good, but the angle of my nose turned out to be a lot more than 90 degrees, and it doesn’t look natural. And the mock-up pictures had a more refined tip as well.
To fix pig nose I’d have to pay a lot (again) to have a surgeon graft cartilage from my ribs into my nose, and that sounds risky too.
And my scar is still pretty noticeable too.
Also I thought this could help me breathe better but that turned out to be a different issue.
So I just want to encourage people to just take good care of themselves, work on their physical and mental health instead of these more drastic body alterations.
I think some people that aren’t happy with their results aren’t motivated to be vulnerable and share their experience, so I wanted to provide balance and a fuller picture.

Hello can you post better photos? In these photos, your nose does look upturned but it actually does not look bad . It may indeed be bad but because the pictures aren't great (and we can't see the red of your face and also bc the pics are not in color, ifs so difficult to tell. If the pictures are not clear, I makes it very hard to make proper decision. Some noses can be upturned and look good and some can be over done and not look good. I cannot tell which category you fall into based off these photos.
Also you can also show your full face but simply blur out your eyes. That way no one can tell it's you but we can see your whole nose in reference to your face. These pictures don't show enough to know if his is a bad result or not.
Also we're your nostrils reduced or not? That also is difficult to determine based on these pics. Flare can be reduced that way
