Six-Month Review After Revision Rhinoplasty
본문
Before / 6m post-op
It has now been six months since I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Hyunju Kim at RU Plastic Surgery.
At this stage, my nose feels very comfortable, without any noticeable tightness or foreign-body sensation.
Before the revision, my nose looked relatively low overall and the nasal tip appeared broad and spread out.
Now, the tip looks more elevated and defined, and I am especially pleased that my overall appearance feels more refined and sophisticated.
I had also been worried about possible issues such as the nose becoming deviated again or developing an inflammatory reaction.
So far, I have not experienced any noticeable problems of that kind, which has been very reassuring.
Most of the swelling also appears to have subsided, so I am even more satisfied with how the final shape is developing.
At my most recent follow-up appointment, Dr. Kim mainly checked the remaining swelling around the nasal tip and the scar at the autologous rib cartilage donor site.
I was told that most of the nasal tip swelling had already resolved, although a very small amount still remained.
As for the rib cartilage donor-site scar, Dr. Kim advised me to be more consistent with applying scar ointment.
The scar still looks slightly indented to me, but I also know that I have not been as diligent with scar care as I should have been.
For now, I plan to manage the area more consistently and continue monitoring how it improves over time.
