One-Month Review After Revision Rhinoplasty for Nostril Asymmetry and a Deviated Nose
본문
Before / 1M post-op
I had significant asymmetry between my nostrils, and from the front, my nose also appeared noticeably deviated.
Another major concern was that my nostrils looked somewhat triangular in shape, which had become a significant source of stress for me. Because of these issues, I decided to undergo what I hoped would be my final revision rhinoplasty.
I first learned about RU Plastic Surgery through a cosmetic surgery app.
While comparing several clinics and reviewing many before-and-after cases, I became interested in RU Plastic Surgery and eventually scheduled a consultation.
During my first visit, the consultation coordinator was very kind and helped create a comfortable atmosphere throughout the appointment.
Later, during my consultation with Dr. Hyunju Kim, I felt reassured because he clearly identified the areas that had been causing me the most stress and explained how they could be addressed through revision surgery.
Since this was my fourth revision rhinoplasty, I naturally had many concerns going into surgery.
Immediately afterward, there was quite a bit of swelling, and because I tend to worry easily, I found myself feeling anxious about the early recovery.
Considering that I had already undergone multiple previous surgeries and that I personally tend to swell easily, I felt that the initial swelling was understandable.
One area I was slightly concerned about was some postoperative scar tissue that developed inside the nostril.
I was told that laser treatment would be used to help manage that area, so I am currently continuing my recovery with some reassurance.
As time has passed, the swelling has gradually decreased.
People around me have also commented that the shape of my nostrils has improved considerably and that both the nasal tip and bridge now look more natural and refined.
Hearing those comments has made me very happy.
Although the cost of the surgery was a significant consideration, I personally feel that the result has made the procedure worthwhile, and overall, I am very satisfied with how things are progressing.
For this revision rhinoplasty, a customized 3D implant and autologous rib cartilage were used.
