My bridge wasn't low, but from the side there was a hump that looked broken like a staircase, and that was stressful. Especially when the light hit it or when I took side-profile photos, the uneven middle part showed so clearly, and even from the front there was a slightly crooked feeling, so I was bothered by both the front and the side. The tip was also a little wide, so I was worried about my nose looking rough and masculine. Honestly, since I'm in my 30s, I kept thinking, Do I really need surgery at this age? But every time I took a photo, all I could see was my nose, so the stress was huge. The doctor explained that if we smooth out the hump line and balance the crookedness and the tip, it could look naturally different, and that felt realistic and trustworthy. I said I didn't want a style that screams, 'I got nose surgery!' but wanted a natural look like my own nose, and they designed it exactly that way. Now I'm 3 months out, and the line that used to bend at the hump has become smoothly straight, and the side line that used to look like steps now flows together naturally, which is what I'm most satisfied with. Before, I hated having my side profile photographed, but now I have confidence even in side-view photos. Since the crooked nose was corrected too, the slight crooked feeling from the front has also been fixed. The best part is that it doesn't feel like a surgically altered nose; it feels like my nose, just a little slimmer and smoother. The stressful parts are gone. It even makes me feel like it was a waste to worry about it for years. If stress was the issue, I should have done it a little sooner.
