Two-Week Review After Customized 3D Revision Rhinoplasty
본문
Before / 2w post-op
I decided to undergo revision rhinoplasty because I wanted to change the overall shape of my nose and reduce the amount of nostril show that was visible from the front.
I first learned about RU Plastic Surgery through a recommendation from someone I knew.
I liked the type of nasal shape I saw in the clinic’s results, and during my consultation, Dr. Hyunju Kim explained the surgical plan in detail, which gave me confidence in moving forward with the revision.
For my surgery, autologous rib cartilage was used for the nasal tip and a customized silicone implant was used for the nasal bridge.
I also underwent short nose correction, nasolabial angle correction, correction of a deviated nose, and functional nasal surgery for rhinitis, including deviated septum correction and inferior turbinate reduction.
Immediately after surgery, I personally experienced very little swelling or bruising, which made the early recovery process much more comfortable than I had expected.
The nasal packing was also removed the following day, which helped reduce some of the postoperative discomfort.
Although I am still only two weeks postoperative, I feel that the nasal line is already developing in the direction I wanted.
I am also pleased that the amount of visible nostril show from the front, which had been one of my biggest concerns before surgery, appears to have improved.
At this stage, I am very satisfied with the early result and am looking forward to seeing how the shape continues to settle as the remaining swelling gradually subsides.
