Actually, that's not even my main point—I'm mostly just terrified that once it's done, it'll look totally fake, like one of those overly "done" noses you see on reality TV stars. I really don't want that. What do you guys think?
You really need to hash that out with him directly. Be incredibly specific about exactly what you want and how you want it (and then hope he actually respects those boundaries). My results were great in that regard. Mind you, I still have a little bump right in the middle😂—but hey, if that’s just something that settles down over the next few months or was just a minor slip-up, whatever... my nose doesn't look artificial at all. It all comes down to how much work is actually required. For instance, they had to shave down a massive amount of bone on the upper half, but I insisted on keeping my original base. And—just as a precaution—I told them I didn't want an extreme lift, just something slightly higher than what I started with. So, he definitely listened to my wishes there (though clearly, I should have mentioned I didn't want a brand-new bump in the middle 🙄). But anyway.
My advice for that specific fear? If you're really worried about looking "fake," aim for a more subtle change. Don't try to overhaul everything 100%. Go for something discreet; that way, if you decide a year from now that you wanted a bit more or a bit less, you can always go back for a touch-up later. That's much better than overdoing it upfront, because there's no undo button.
