First Rhinoplasty Experience — Choosing RU Plastic Surgery Was the Best Decision I Made
본문






I had always felt that my nose looked small on my face,
and the recessed columella was a major insecurity for me.
From both the front and the side, I disliked how my nose lacked presence
compared to my eyes and lips, and this was something I had vaguely wanted
to change since I was young.
After thinking about it for a long time, once I became an adult I decided,
“If I’m going to do it anyway, I should do it early and enjoy my twenties.”
That was when I started looking into clinics and discovered
Dr. Kim Hyun Joo at RU Plastic Surgery.
Since this was my first cosmetic surgery, I was quite scared,
and I can confidently say that I spent a lot of time doing both online
and in-person research.
In fact, I already had a surgery scheduled at another clinic about a month prior.
However, the more reviews I read and the more I learned about that surgeon,
the more I felt that their preference for very dramatic results
did not match my aesthetic.
At the same time, Dr. Kim Hyun Joo’s aesthetic at RU Plastic Surgery
kept lingering in my mind.
The day before my originally scheduled surgery at the other clinic,
I decided I absolutely had to visit RU Plastic Surgery.
After receiving a consultation there, I became completely certain
that this was where I needed to have my surgery,
and I ended up choosing RU Plastic Surgery for my rhinoplasty.
When I heard that autologous rib cartilage would be used,
I was a bit worried because I have thin skin and tend to be very cautious.
However, Dr. Kim explained everything in detail in his own way,
so thoroughly that all my concerns were put to rest.
The columella outcomes I was worried about were beautifully designed,
which gave me full confidence in my decision.
For my surgery, silicone was used for the nasal bridge
and autologous rib cartilage for the nasal tip,
along with nasolabial angle correction and short-nose correction.
These days, I honestly feel that choosing rib cartilage was the right decision,
especially because there has been almost no tip drooping at all.
I wanted a natural, near-straight nose with a softly rounded tip.
I hoped that my nostrils would not be too visible,
and I did not want the bridge to be overly high
to the point where it would give a masculine impression.
Although I had many requests, Dr. Kim understood my needs very well
and created a result that closely matched the reference photos I brought,
without being excessive. I am extremely satisfied with my results.
I am usually someone who swells and bruises very easily,
so I was genuinely shocked that I had almost no bruising or swelling
immediately after surgery.
This certainly was not due to my body type,
and I believe it was largely because the surgery itself was done so well.
Even though it has not yet been a full month,
I am already looking forward to seeing my nose fully settle,
as I expect it to become even more natural and refined.
After seeing my results, an acquaintance of mine has already booked surgery
at RU Plastic Surgery, and people around me constantly ask
where I had my nose done and tell me how beautifully it turned out.
I had my surgery toward the end of 2025,
and honestly, the best decision I made all year
was giving up my deposit at another clinic
and switching to RU Plastic Surgery.
To Dr. Kim Hyun Joo,
and to the coordinators and staff who always welcomed me so kindly,
thank you as always.
RU Plastic Surgery truly feels like the right choice.
