Two-Week Review After Rhinoplasty Using Autologous Rib Cartilage
본문
Before / 2w post-op
One of my biggest concerns before surgery was that my nasal bridge was very low, which made my overall face look somewhat flat and lacking in definition.
I was also slightly bothered by a dorsal hump that became noticeable when I smiled or viewed my side profile, which eventually led me to consider rhinoplasty.
I first came across Dr. Hyunju Kim at RU Plastic Surgery through Instagram.
The before-and-after photos and patient reviews I saw were very close to the natural style I wanted, so I decided to schedule a consultation.
During the consultation, Dr. Kim carefully explained the surgical approach that would be suitable for the condition of my nose.
His detailed explanation gave me confidence in moving forward with the procedure.
My rhinoplasty was performed using a silicone implant and autologous rib cartilage.
As time has passed since surgery, the swelling has gradually decreased, and I feel that the overall nasal line is beginning to settle into a more natural shape.
I am especially pleased that my previously low nasal bridge now has more height and definition, which makes my face appear more three-dimensional and balanced.
The dorsal hump that had bothered me also looks much smoother, which is another change I am very happy with.
Whenever I had questions during recovery, the clinic staff explained things kindly and thoroughly during my one- and two-week postoperative visits, which helped me feel reassured.
I am still in the early stage of recovery, but I am looking forward to seeing the nose become even more natural as the swelling continues to subside.
Although the healing process is not yet complete, I am already very satisfied with the overall contour and the changes I can see so far.
At this point, I feel that going through with the surgery was well worth the time I spent considering it.
