Hello,

Roughly 6-months ago I rushed into a rhinoplasty procedure. I had never liked my original nose. However, now that I had money out of college I felt it would be an upgrade. Over time, the swelling has continued for the nose to shrink - not feeling like myself... especially from the front it feels shorter, less defined and stubbier.

My main concern is I always had the hump, that I now realize a lot of my family has . While I don't believe it is an attractive trait, I feel as though my identity is missing. My nose has become noticeable to myself and my family & friends. The difference is too dramatic. While I don't think I look bad necessarily... I regret this more than anything and don't think I look any better. At my initial consult, I was concerned based on the large difference in before & after. Yet, persuaded into going thru with it. I wasted my money and am extremely depressed.

While I can't go back to my old nose in its entirety. I would love to get as close as possible. I know this type of thing isn't advertised but wondering if anyone has seem something like this before.

Not to mention i HATE how I look from the front. Almost as if I sacrificed a side profile I didn't love to RUIN a really nice frontal one I did. In sum, love to get the bony, defined, longer nose back that sticks out much more alike my family and what feels natural to me. Even would enjoy to bring a bump or hump back. Not to mention my new tip is where all the removed cartilage is stored to keep it straight. 

Again, I do not think it looks bad. I rushed into a decision I didn't need.

Hoping there is a possibility for someone to help me come closer. Thanks.
