I got revision rhinoplasty and came back; please look at my before and after with me

You were shocked when you saw the before photo, right.. That was my nose after I’d had surgery before... lol This time I got revision surgery.. Before the surgery, when I smiled, the shape of my nose stood out even more strangely, so I couldn’t even smile freely. Since it was a revision surgery, I was really worried about the result, but I like it... lol so I’m gathering the courage to post it. So for revision rhinoplasty, I did online research across all kinds of communities without being picky, and from those, I narrowed it down to only a few places with reviews that were at least somewhat similar to my case and went for consultations. I did think about just going everywhere I could, but I felt like the more I did that, the more confused I’d get and the less firm my own standards would become, so I really narrowed down and refined my research list carefully. Maybe because of that, every place I consulted at was at least above average. When I went for a consultation at the place where I ended up having surgery, they showed me cases closest to mine that I hadn’t seen in reviews before, and that was the point that made me feel reassured. They also pinpointed exactly what the cause was, so I thought that if they knew the cause properly, they would probably be able to fix it properly too, so I chose them. As expected, you really should listen to the expert lol. Because I wanted to replace the silicone, but the director said my natural nasal bridge was already high, so there was no need to put silicone in unnecessarily. So I only had the nasal tip done with donated costal cartilage, and I like it because even with just that, it changed naturally without looking artificial. Especially, I think the biggest strength is that it suits my face... People around me have also told me a lot that my overall vibe has become much better. Maybe because it’s a place specializing in revision surgery, it was nice that they had anti-contracture medication and an inflammation-prevention spray prepared too. And I also had functional nasal surgery done at the same time...? I didn’t have indemnity insurance, so I had it done as a non-insured procedure... lol Still, when I told them I didn’t have insurance, they negotiated the cost down a lot (+ they gave me full-face skin Botox as a service). Now I’m in the stable phase, so I haven’t been paying much attention to it, but while organizing my gallery to post this review, I realized it really was serious before the revision surgery... lol
