4 months after nose surgery: such a natural, successful result

It has been about 4 months since my nose surgery. I wanted a natural look and wanted as few side effects as possible. I was self-conscious about my bulbous nose and hump nose, but my nose was already fairly tall and large, so I worried a lot about whether it would turn out well. I only had ear cartilage used, and I thought they were only going to shave the hump, but they said they also inserted ear cartilage near the glabella to refine the hump and the nose line. At first, after removing the splint, my skin was a bit thicker than other people’s, so the swelling seemed to go down slowly. Even after one and two months, I still looked like an avatar and oddly like Squidward, so I was really worried. I was seriously anxious and kept coming back to this community to look up swelling-related posts and all that. T_T_T_T_T_T If you look at other people, they say the swelling is barely there and goes down within two or three months, so I was a bit nervous. Still, the director kept checking my progress well, I talked things over, and there were no functional issues with my nose, so I waited until all the swelling went down. But now, 4 months later, so much swelling has gone that I’m exactly happy with it and it’s so pretty. My friends actually didn’t notice at all even at around one or two months, and said I looked slimmer and prettier. When I told them I had had my nose done, they said it turned out really natural, lol. So I was glad!! What I wanted was to fix my complex without it looking like I had surgery at all, haha. It doesn’t feel like I pushed myself into surgery, so I don’t think I have to worry much about side effects, and my bulbous nose has improved a lot. I really like the nose shape too. The photos somehow don’t come out as nicely as in real life.. Anyway, it’s so pretty that I’m happy with it, and I’m glad I haven’t had any side effects so far, haha.
