A review from someone worried about a small nose and an upturned nose

Anyone who has really felt stressed because of their nose will know... I originally had a small nose and a rather vague nose bridge... kind of look, and I also had an upturned-nose feel, so my nostrils were really noticeable I couldn't take a front-facing photo without feeling like my nose had no presence, but at the same time it looked too short and upturned, like the center of my face wasn't balanced? Especially the side profile was really stressful... The tip didn't look nicely lifted; it felt a bit droopy? Blunt? I even hated being photographed because of that lol So I decided to get nose surgery and spent a ton of time visiting clinics for consultations, and I don't even know how many places I went to. I wanted something that would bring the upturned feel down naturally and balance my face, rather than something overly flashy. And because I wanted it to last a long time, I got autologous costal cartilage after the consultation, but honestly, the first few days were more painful and uncomfortable than I expected Especially during the first few days, even breathing felt stuffy and I couldn't sleep properly... But after a week, things got a bit bearable and I started feeling human again lol Then I still remember the day they removed the splint lol I looked in the mirror and the upturned feeling had come down a lot, and the tip was also naturally refined, so for a moment I was like, wait, is this really my nose?(P) It wasn't like they just made the nose unnaturally high; the whole nose shape settled in a stable way, so the balance of my face itself looked different. What was surprising was that my expression looked so much softer. Before, my nose made me look a little sharp and awkward, but now it looks much more refined? I guess people don't say the nose is the center of the face for nothing... Once the nose was fixed, that irritating feeling in my face just disappeared lol The funny thing is my resident ID photo looked so different that last time I got turned away during identity verification In the end, I had to replace my ID photo too lol Even my parents said the surgery turned out well... My parents are usually very conservative, so hearing them say I made the right choice to get my nose done first made me feel a bit touched And a useful tip I learned while visiting clinics for nose surgery: 1. Go to multiple places no matter what -> This is obvious, but if you only go to one place, it's easy to get swept up by one surgeon's style. 2. More than flashiness, the proportion to your own face seems to matter -> Making it higher doesn't automatically make it prettier.. It's better to find a place where the surgeon's aesthetic matches yours. 3. When looking at review photos, check the side profile and smiling expression rather than just the front -> There are surprisingly many noses that look pretty only from the front or only from the side. 4. Say exactly what you want -> If you only say, 'Please make it natural~', everyone's 기준 differs, so the result can end up vague too Anyway, I'm so satisfied now that I wonder why I didn't do it sooner, seriously
