Non-Implant Rhinoplasty Review
본문
Reason for Deciding on Rhinoplasty
Since childhood, whenever I looked at my side profile,
I felt that my dorsal hump was the most disappointing feature of my face.
Even my parents used to say,
“At least your nose should be done.”
I often told my friends that I would eventually get rhinoplasty,
but when it came time to actually proceed,
fear made me postpone the decision repeatedly.
This year, however, a long holiday gave me the opportunity,
and I realized that if not now, I might never do it.
The main points I wanted to improve
were removal of the dorsal hump
and a slight elevation of the nasal tip.
Reason for Choosing RU Plastic Surgery
I had been considering rhinoplasty for nearly three years
and spent a great deal of time reading reviews.
When I learned that Dr. Kim Hyun Joo,
whom I had been following for a long time,
had opened a new clinic,
I immediately searched for RU Plastic Surgery.
I reviewed patient experiences across all major cosmetic platforms,
and the fact that it is a one-surgeon clinic
gave me a strong sense of trust.
During the consultation,
although the cost was slightly higher than other clinics,
the staff’s sincere and kind attitude,
Dr. Kim’s confidence,
and the detailed, transparent explanation of the surgical process
made a strong impression.
At other clinics, I experienced consultations
where no CT scan was performed
and silicone implants were recommended without careful evaluation,
which felt uncomfortable and impersonal.
In contrast, from the coordinator to the surgeon,
everyone at RU Plastic Surgery treated me with genuine care.
I could not stop thinking about the consultation afterward,
and I confirmed my surgery reservation that very day.
Consultation and Surgical Plan
During the consultation,
Dr. Kim explained that my nasal bridge was already sufficiently high
and that a silicone implant was not necessary.
Based on this assessment,
I proceeded with non-implant rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage,
along with nasal osteotomy and functional surgery for rhinitis.
Only the areas that truly required correction were addressed,
which increased my confidence in the expected outcome.
Postoperative Recovery and Overall Satisfaction
To be completely honest,
the pain was minimal—so much so that I felt
I could undergo the surgery again if necessary.
There was very little swelling,
and I could clearly feel how delicate and precise
Dr. Kim’s surgical technique was.
The first day was uncomfortable due to nasal packing,
making sleep difficult, but once the packing was removed,
I was able to return to daily activities immediately.
Because no implant was used,
I had very little concern about long-term complications.
With the dorsal hump removed,
my facial impression became noticeably softer and more feminine.
Many people have commented that the change looks extremely natural,
to the point that they cannot tell I had surgery unless I mention it myself.
Some of my closest friends have even said
they want to have surgery at the same clinic.
At one point, I became concerned
about slight surface irregularity near the middle of the nasal tip.
Even then, the clinic coordinator reviewed my photos in detail,
stayed late to explain everything thoroughly,
and reassured me with patience and care.
At my one-month follow-up,
Dr. Kim immediately noticed the area that had concerned me
and performed careful corrective treatment.
I left the clinic that day feeling completely reassured and satisfied.
In conclusion, the surgical result, postoperative care,
and overall atmosphere of RU Plastic Surgery were all exceptional.
It is a clinic I can confidently recommend to others
as a truly trustworthy place for rhinoplasty.
