Two-Month Review After Rhinoplasty for a Short, Low Nose Using Autologous Rib Cartilage
본문
Before / 2m post-op
I had always been self-conscious about the fact that my nose was relatively low and short overall.
I spent a lot of time looking through rhinoplasty reviews on different websites and cosmetic surgery apps, and I kept coming across before-and-after photos that really matched the style I liked.
After saving several of those cases, I realized that many of them were from RU Plastic Surgery, which made me even more interested in scheduling a consultation.
I booked an appointment with Dr. Hyunju Kim, and during the consultation, he evaluated the structure of my nose and recommended a customized 3D implant designed to better match my facial structure rather than using a conventional implant.
We also decided to include columellar lowering, nasolabial angle correction, and bulbous tip correction as part of the surgical plan.
One thing that surprised me after surgery was that I personally experienced less swelling than I had expected.
Once the nasal splint was removed, I was able to return to my normal daily routine relatively quickly.
Now that I am two months postoperative, I am very satisfied with the overall nasal line.
Among all the changes, I am especially pleased with the improvement in my side profile after the nasolabial angle correction.
Before surgery, I felt that my mouth looked somewhat protrusive from the side, but now that appearance seems much less noticeable, which has made a big difference in how I feel about my profile.
I used to avoid showing my side profile in photos because I felt self-conscious about it.
These days, however, I feel much more confident and find myself taking side-profile photos much more often.
At two months postoperatively, I am very happy with how naturally the result is continuing to settle.
Based on my own experience, I would feel comfortable recommending a consultation with Dr. Hyunju Kim at RU Plastic Surgery to anyone with similar concerns about a short or low nose.
