Revision Rhinoplasty with Functional Nasal Surgery – 1 Month Post-Op
본문
Ten years ago,
I had my first rhinoplasty.
Although I wasn't completely satisfied with the cosmetic result,
I didn't have any functional problems,
so I simply lived with it for years.
Eventually,
I found myself focusing only on my nose whenever I looked in the mirror.
My overly high bridge
and upturned nasal tip
couldn't be hidden with makeup,
so I finally decided to undergo revision rhinoplasty.
I first discovered RU Plastic Surgery
through YouTube.
I really liked the elegant yet natural style of the results,
especially the softly rounded nasal tip.
After seeing more before-and-after photos
on plastic surgery apps,
I also noticed that Dr. Hyun Joo Kim
has extensive experience with complex revision cases,
including contracted noses,
which gave me even more confidence.
Originally,
I planned to visit at least three clinics,
but after my first consultation at RU Plastic Surgery,
I felt certain enough to schedule my surgery immediately.
My surgical plan included
a silicone implant for the bridge,
autologous rib cartilage for the nasal tip,
columella lowering,
nasolabial angle adjustment,
and two functional nasal procedures.
Now, one month after surgery,
the upturned appearance of my nose has disappeared,
and seeing a naturally defined columella
still feels new every time I look in the mirror.
There is still some residual swelling,
but Dr. Hyun Joo Kim explained
that my nose will continue to become slimmer
and softer as it heals,
which I'm really looking forward to.
Before surgery,
the pain from rib cartilage harvesting
was my biggest concern.
However,
about one week after surgery,
I had recovered enough
to return to my normal daily activities.
At every follow-up appointment,
Dr. Hyun Joo Kim personally asks
if I have any concerns
and carefully examines my progress.
I think this level of personalized follow-up care
is what truly sets RU Plastic Surgery apart.
The entire staff has also been incredibly kind,
making the whole experience even more reassuring.
