One-Month Review After Fourth Revision Rhinoplasty with Customized 3D DCF
본문
Before / 1M post-op
It has now been one month since I underwent my fourth revision rhinoplasty using customized 3D DCF.
Compared with the period immediately after the nasal splint was removed, a significant amount of the major swelling has subsided, and the nasal tip has also settled lower, which has been reassuring.
I still have some residual swelling and mild bruising, so I feel that I need to give the nose at least another month to continue settling.
One of the biggest changes is that Dr. Hyunju Kim reconstructed the columellar area, which had previously been very deficient.
I am still getting used to seeing my face with a more defined and naturally positioned columella, but I am pleased with how the overall structure is developing.
At my one-month follow-up after revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Kim carefully examined the autologous rib cartilage donor-site incision and the postoperative scar tissue.
Even before I brought up my concerns, he explained how I should continue caring for the area and advised that laser treatment could be considered later as part of the scar-management process.
That detailed guidance has made me feel much more reassured about the postoperative care.
For now, I am continuing to wait patiently for the remaining swelling to subside and am looking forward to seeing the final shape once the nose has fully settled.
