Third Revision Rhinoplasty with Autologous Rib Cartilage > 리얼셀카 | RU성형외과

 

I decided to undergo a third rhinoplasty because over time

the nasal tip gradually lifted,

the nostrils became becoming more visible from the front,

and the columella looked straight and pulled upward in the side view,

making my nose appear even shorter.

Even after two surgeries, people often said they couldn’t tell I had done my nose,

so this time I wanted a result that was both aesthetically refined

and structurally long-lasting.

While researching materials and clinics,

I realized that the most stable option over time is autologous rib cartilage.

With the mindset that this must be the final surgery,

I searched very carefully for the right surgeon.

That’s when I found RU Plastic Surgery and

became familiar with Dr. Hyun Joo Kim through YouTube videos

showcasing his expertise and many revision cases.

The results in reviews matched the style I wanted,

so I booked a consultation.

After the CT scan, Dr. Kim accurately pointed out my issues

and calmly explained the surgical plan, materials,

and techniques for over an hour.

This gave me full confidence,

so I immediately booked my third revision surgery using rib cartilage.

By the 3–4-week mark, the foreign-body sensation had improved,

breathing became easier,

and as the swelling along the dorsum decreased,

my side profile looked much better.

All the discomfort I felt right after surgery has now disappeared.

The tension around the philtrum and nasal tip has eased,

and nasal discharge has decreased significantly.

The overall shape is exactly what I wanted—

natural, with a slightly rounded look from the front

and a refined, elegant line from the side.

I tend to worry a lot and ask many questions,

but every visit,

Dr. Kim kindly explained everything with a reassuring smile.

That made the entire recovery process much more comforting.
