Revision Rhinoplasty for a Pinched, Contracted Nose with Customized 3D DCF

Before / 2w post-op
I first became interested in RU Plastic Surgery after seeing an influencer’s rhinoplasty result on Instagram and really liking the shape of the nose.
I had previously experienced nasal contracture, and I was also dissatisfied with the overall shape of my nose.
Since this was going to be my fourth rhinoplasty and I am now in my thirties, I wanted to be extremely careful about choosing a clinic.
For more than a year, I visited around twenty clinics that were known for revision rhinoplasty and nasal contracture cases.
However, I had difficulty finding a clinic that matched all of the criteria I was looking for until I consulted with RU Plastic Surgery.
From the consultation itself, I felt very comfortable with the clinic.
I also appreciated that an anesthesiologist was available on-site, that functional nasal surgery for rhinitis could be performed at the same time, and that I felt I could trust Dr. Hyunju Kim’s explanation and surgical approach.
For my surgery, I underwent revision rhinoplasty for nasal contracture using autologous rib cartilage, along with three functional nasal procedures for rhinitis, including nasal valve surgery.
After the revision, I was impressed by how closely Dr. Kim and the clinic continued to monitor my recovery.
The postoperative care included laser treatment for swelling, IV treatment as part of the recovery care, and nasal irrigation solution, along with several other forms of follow-up support.
In my case, I experienced almost no visible bruising and much less swelling than I had expected, which surprised me.
Because I had considered this to be a relatively major revision surgery, I expected the recovery to be much more difficult.
Instead, the early recovery has felt more manageable and faster than I had anticipated.
So far, I am very satisfied with the overall process and feel reassured by the level of postoperative care I have received.
