One-Month Review After Rhinoplasty for a Small, Short Nose Using Autologous Rib Cartilage
본문

I had always been self-conscious about my small and somewhat blunt-looking nose.
Whenever I took photos, I felt that my small nose made my face look less defined and somewhat wider overall, which had been a major insecurity for me.
I had considered rhinoplasty for nearly ten years but kept putting it off.
Once I finally had enough time to seriously research the procedure, I looked through many patient reviews and visited several clinics for consultations.
Among them, the results from RU Plastic Surgery matched my aesthetic preferences the most, and I also felt reassured by my consultation with Dr. Hyunju Kim.
For my surgery, autologous rib cartilage and an implant were used.
Immediately after rhinoplasty, I found it quite difficult because I could not breathe comfortably through my nose, but that gradually improved as the early recovery progressed.
I had asked for the result to look as natural as possible, so at first, I was a little surprised because the nose appeared higher and more dramatic than I had expected.
Now that one month has passed, however, a significant amount of the swelling has subsided, and the overall shape looks much more natural.
People around me have also been complimenting the result and telling me that my nose looks very attractive.
I especially feel that improving the small appearance of my nose has added more definition to my face, and I now enjoy taking photos much more than I did before.
I am still in the recovery process, so I am looking forward to seeing how the nose continues to refine as the remaining residual swelling gradually subsides.
