Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty With Functional Nasal Surgery
본문
From a young age, I was frequently told that my nose appeared low,
making my facial profile look flat.
This had been a long-standing source of stress,
which ultimately led me to undergo rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage.
I chose RU Plastic Surgery after watching a rhinoplasty revision vlog on YouTube,
where the thorough postoperative care and follow-up stood out to me.
Based on that impression, I decided to proceed with surgery there.
My procedure included nasolabial angle correction and removal of previous HIKO threads,
using a combination of silicone for the nasal dorsum and autologous rib cartilage for structural support.
In addition, functional nasal surgery for rhinitis (two procedures) was performed.
To achieve a more natural and balanced side profile,
forehead fat grafting was also added to the surgical plan.
After surgery, postoperative care such as swelling-reduction laser therapy
and swelling injections was provided consistently.
At every follow-up visit, Dr. Kim Hyun Joo personally evaluated the nasal shape,
which gave me a strong sense of reassurance throughout the recovery process.
At present, the facial features that previously appeared wide from the front
and flat from the side have been well corrected.
The overall facial balance has improved significantly,
and I am very satisfied with the outcome.
