The hanging nose problem solved but now i have upturned and short nose instead.
I mostly regret doing the op to fix my old 'Normal' nose.
I hope the upturnness will go down after swelling or with another op.
I am not very happy right now. I wish i had seen more doctors or simply being happy with my old nose.

I see what you mean about it being slightly too upturned, but honestly, for what it's worth, I also still think it looks really good!

I think you look really handsome. I would never consider your looks feminine or your nose upturned. Of course, it looks foreign to you, because your old nose was longer. Give it some time. You got there that Ben Afflec look going.

PS I like the new look better.
Don't let this 3-4 mm difference in position of your tip ruin your happiness.
I have never liked long noses, on men or women

I can't even see your eyes but you look like a gorgeous man. When people see you, probably they see the overall package instead of just your nose. I think with time the tip will drop after all the swelling has gone down. Meanwhile, from what we can see, you look great.

Just curious. Has anyone one of your friends noticed? What do your parents think? How do you feel about your look now (other than waiting for your tip to drop?)

UPDATE - 1 MONTH: Not sure if nose is getting better or i am getting used to it, but i decided to be more contented with the results. Still not happy with a bit shortness of the nose and having upturned, more feminine tip, also nose looks fat now as it got shorter.
Doctor advice to massage the tip 3 times a day for 2-3 minutes to remove the swelling faster and move the tip down to normal, 90° position, where he claims he fixed it.
Here are some photos of 1 month.

new nose looks good (better than before) ... tip may drop even further as swelling goes down

Thanks for updating. Your nose looks much better now and it's only 1 month post op. I hope my tip drop too.

Tip will drop further. Swelling will decrease. btw, all tips drop with age, with or without rhinoplasty. I think your nose looks great, and you look very masculine.

Your nose looks a lot different and I think for the better. Your nose no longer dominates your face. It's a huge change for you but for someone seeing you for the first time...it really looks good. I don't think it looks feminine. It softens your face in a good way and you still look manly.

UPDATE - 2 Months: I stopped begin conscious about my nose, not regretting having an OP as the results seem to me quite good. it has been only two month and hope some more good changes are also to come.
Upturned nose is less noticeable and looks straight now, although there is a sensible difference from right and left side of the nose. Here are some new photos for comparison.
Thank you all for supportive comments. Recalling how miserable i felt after the OP, it was a great help.

From the front your nose looks great, makes your face very attractive. While your profile is rotated up compared to before, the surgeon gave you a straight profile which for your face looks masculine. You need to be thankful your surgeon didn't scoop out your nose and created a curve, then you'd look feminine. You look great. With time the tip will drop more, it's natural.. You just need to be patient

Glad that you are now more satisfied with your results, it is looking much better now. I see what you mean about the upturned tip but i don't think it's to the point where it looks feminine. I think you look very attractive!
May 10, 2013
It's looking better and better and again, you are SO handsome! Enjoy your good looks. ;)
May 11, 2013
haha no! You're so good looking and you need to know it! ;) Maybe it's just because I have a thing for beards but I don't think so....I think you just look great all around! lol

You looked handsome with your old nose but even more handsome with your new one. I think your new nose looks great - front and profile views. I just think it will take some time for you to get used to the new look.

The new nose honestly looks sooooo good. Really handsome from what I can see. You're probably just nit picking all the small details but when other people look at it they don't even notice that stuff. You have nothing to worry about it looks great!
You know what, I think you actually look really nice. I would not call your nose feminine at all. You looked good before and you look great now. I'm being totally honest.
Sometimes the tip can look more upturned when you're still swollen, so I hope it drops some and you're happier. Here's what some doctors say about an upturned tip while you're still swollen.
Also, I imagine you're suffering extreme shock. You look REALLY different. Not in a bad way. You're still handsome, but it's certainly different.
