One-Month Review After Customized 3D Rhinoplasty
본문
Before / 1M post-op
Before surgery, I felt that my nose looked too small compared with the rest of my face, and I also noticed that it appeared slightly deviated toward the left.
From the front, I wanted less nostril show, and I was also concerned that my columella sat at nearly the same level as the nostril margins. These were some of the main areas I hoped to improve through rhinoplasty.
I first learned about RU Plastic Surgery while researching rhinoplasty reviews online. After coming across a blog review, I continued looking through the clinic’s cases on YouTube and Instagram.
The more results I saw, the more I felt that the clinic’s aesthetic approach matched the type of nose I wanted, which ultimately led me to choose RU Plastic Surgery.
During my consultation, I also learned that I had a deviated nasal septum, which I had not been aware of before.
Because of that, I decided to undergo functional nasal surgery for rhinitis at the same time as my cosmetic rhinoplasty.
For the surgery, an Innofit customized 3D implant and autologous rib cartilage were used.
My early recovery was more comfortable than I had expected.
Aside from the discomfort of having my nose blocked after surgery, I personally experienced very little pain. The autologous rib cartilage donor site mostly felt similar to muscle soreness in my case.
I had been told that I could take pain medication if necessary, but the discomfort was mild enough that I did not feel the need to take any.
From an aesthetic perspective, I am very satisfied because the areas I wanted to improve have changed in the direction I had hoped for.
The overall nasal shape looks natural, and even though I am only one month postoperative, I am already pleased with the result.
The nasal bridge currently looks just slightly wider than I initially expected, and I sometimes feel that this has subtly changed the overall impression of my eyes as well.
However, since I am still early in the recovery process, I expect the appearance may continue to become more natural as the remaining swelling subsides.
I have also been returning to the clinic regularly for postoperative follow-up appointments.
The swelling continues to decrease day by day, and I am enjoying seeing the subtle changes as the nose gradually settles.
At one month postoperatively, I am already much more satisfied with my nose than I was before surgery and am looking forward to seeing how the final shape continues to develop.
