Potentially looking worse is more scary to me than physical discomfort

A long time ago I read an article about people with post-surgery "empty nose syndrome" who were so affected that they killed themselves. ENS is rare (and I believe even controversial) but it sounded awful enough to give me pause about any kind of nasal surgery. Just throwing that out there for caveat emptor.

Do it, OP! My best friend was uncomfortable with her nose and finally did it. It’s wonderful to witness her feeling more confident.

They can remove cartilage from the tip and narrow it. But be warned it can look bad depending on your skin type. It’s called a cephalic trim. They can also raise the bit that hangs between your nose (the columella). But this can lead to it looking piggish and recessed (which happened in my case).

FYI, They use permanent sutures to make the tip pointy and narrow, so your nose tip will feel like a rock forever. It will never feel squishy and normal again.

My nose looks pinched and worse than before since my surgeon removed so much cartilage from the tip. My nose looks too short for my face, much wider, and it’s like a snub nose now.

Yes, it did make me look younger, but simultaneously uglier if that makes sense. It looks like a kids nose, like underdeveloped. I think I need to have cartilage added back and my bridge raised higher to fix it

I’m not sure mine is fixable. It’s not so much the bony part as the tip. I heard they can’t do anything with the tip is that true?
