6-Month Follow-Up on Male Nasal Surgery Using Autologous Rib Cartilage
본문
My decision to undergo nasal surgery was driven by a general desire to improve my overall image and address breathing difficulties. As someone active in professional and social settings, I preferred a natural and satisfactory enhancement rather than a dramatic or conspicuous change. Most importantly, I sought a reputable clinic with a low risk of needing revision surgery.
After consultations at multiple clinics, I ultimately chose RU Plastic Surgery, known for its expertise in revision and autologous rib cartilage nasal procedures. Dr. Kim Hyun-joo, highly regarded for her surgical skill, was the reason I selected this clinic.
During my consultation with Dr. Kim, I expressed my preference for a natural correction of my bulbous nose. We decided to proceed with nasal surgery using autologous rib cartilage. I was particularly reassured by the lower revision rates compared to conventional silicone implants and the safety of using my own tissue. Dr. Kim’s thorough explanations and confident approach helped me feel secure in entrusting her with my surgery. Additionally, the staff’s attentive care throughout the process made the experience even more comfortable.
Postoperatively, there was some pain in the chest area where the rib cartilage was harvested, but my nose felt fine, and recovery progressed faster than I expected. Dr. Kim personally removed my stitches one week after surgery, which further increased my trust in the care I received.
Now, six months later, the chest discomfort has completely resolved with no foreign body sensation, and my nose has achieved the natural improvement I had hoped for. Additionally, I underwent concurrent sinus surgery, which significantly improved my breathing. I am very satisfied with the outcome and grateful to Dr. Kim Hyun-joo and the team at RU Plastic Surgery for their excellent work.
