I’m officially 9 months post op and I still have yet to take a picture from the front without grimacing and crying. I got my nose done because I hated my side profile, and I never had any negative feelings toward the front of my face.

I was so scared of hating important life moments like getting engaged and taking wedding photos because of my side profile and now I feel even worse. My quality of life is quite low because of the anxiety and guilt around spending so much money on something I hate.

At this point, I’m probably going to get a revision. By who? I’m not sure yet, but I cannot stand looking at myself. I never thought I’d miss my old nose until now. 😔

Pictures 1-5 are within the last couple of weeks
Picture 6 is the mockup I was given
Picture 7 is my original nose from the front

When I posted a couple of weeks ago, I made the mistake of only using the headshots my surgeon took at my 6 month post-op appointment. In those pictures, I’m wearing makeup (including nose contour), the lighting is good, and the camera is professional.

In this post, I’m going to include the pictures I’ve taken the last few weeks (first 3 are from today), the morph my surgeon gave me, and my original nose.

Slides 1-6: current nose
Slide 7: the morph my surgeon made
Slide 8: my original front profile

Again, I’m happy with my side profile, but I absolutely cannot stand my front profile. I’m highly considering a revision and want to know if thats *still* a crazy idea even if my nose looks NOTHING like the morph/what I wanted. I’m in tears every single day over this. 😔

Please note: the reason I got my nose done was because of the large dorsal bump I used to have, nothing to do with my front profile. I grew up hating my side profile with every ounce of my being. You can see the original side profile in my previous post.

The answer to this is probably yes, but I really need some outside opinions.

I’m 7 months post op and I am unhappy with my front profile, which is something I didn’t hate prior to surgery (slide 1). Every time I see my face in pictures now, I feel disconnected and really bummed out.

The side profile is beautiful and everything I’ve ever wanted, but I wish my surgeon made it a priority to NOT increase the width of my tip area so much (which is something I pointed out).

My nose used to sit between the width of the inner corners of my eyes and now it’s much wider. I don’t know… I just miss the way my face used to look straight on. I haven’t taken a regular selfie that I’ve liked in so long. :(

I’m genuinely considering getting a revision to decrease my alar base and cephalic trim area. My current tip is very dome-like rather than a softer triangle shape which is what I would’ve preferred.

Am I being delusional or would you also be a bit bummed out?
