Six Months After Contracted Nose Revision Surgery > 리얼셀카 | RU성형외과

My initial rhinoplasty was performed at a large clinic

for cosmetic purposes.

Over time, I began noticing whitening at the nasal tip,

which made me increasingly anxious.

I then started extensive research focused on contracted nose revision.

During this process, I came across many reviews of RU Plastic Surgery

and decided to schedule an in-person consultation.

Although I hoped my condition was not contracture,

the evaluation confirmed that it was.

The nasal tip skin had become extremely thin,

and there was a real risk of silicone extrusion.

I was advised that complete implant removal was necessary,

even if stem cell therapy was performed.

Shortly after the consultation,

I underwent total implant removal.

To support tissue recovery,

I received stem cell treatments at two-week intervals

and allowed sufficient time for healing.

Approximately four months after removal,

I proceeded with contracted nose revision surgery at RU Plastic Surgery.

The revision was performed using only autologous tissue.

The nasal bridge was reconstructed with temporalis fascia

and autologous rib cartilage,

while the nasal tip was supported with rib cartilage.

The plan also included columellar reconstruction

and short nose correction.

Dr. Hyunjoo Kim emphasized throughout

that autologous tissue is essential

for successful contracted nose revision.

My primary concerns were the lifted short nose

and the bulky nasal appearance.

In the early postoperative period,

I was somewhat concerned about the rib harvest scar

and the incision above the hairline

used for temporalis fascia harvesting.

However, now at six months postoperatively,

overall satisfaction has far outweighed those concerns.

Because my skin is relatively thick,

I would not say the frontal view is 100% perfect.

That said, it no longer causes any concern in daily life.

Given that I work in a profession involving frequent face-to-face interaction,

the previously exposed nostrils were a major source of stress.

That issue has now improved significantly,

and I am very satisfied.

At this point, I barely remember my previous nasal shape.

The lateral profile, in particular,

turned out beautifully,

and I feel grateful every time I see it.

Honestly, I find the result even better

than after my first surgery.

For anyone considering revision rhinoplasty,

I strongly recommend scheduling a consultation

with Dr. Hyunjoo Kim at RU Plastic Surgery.
