Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty Combined with Functional Nasal Surgery: 1-Month Postoperative Review
본문
I had long been troubled by a markedly upturned nose and a short columella,
which made my profile appear unbalanced.
Additionally, asymmetry in my nostrils and an excessively elevated nasal tip
gave the impression of contracture deformity, causing significant distress.
Functionally, I suffered from a severely deviated septum and chronic rhinitis,
resulting in substantial breathing difficulties.
After researching various surgical centers through patient reviews on a plastic surgery app,
I chose RU Plastic Surgery for consultation.
Dr. Kim Hyun-joo meticulously identified all the concerns I had been struggling with for years.
He approached the case holistically, addressing not only the aesthetic deformities
but also the functional impairments, which instilled a deep sense of trust in his expertise.
Moreover, the fact that Dr. Kim personally follows up on postoperative progress
provided me with additional reassurance.
The revision surgery was performed using a combination of autologous rib cartilage and silicone implants.
The nasal dorsum was subtly lowered to achieve a natural contour,
while the nasal tip and nostrils were carefully reshaped to attain balanced proportions.
Thanks to Dr. Kim’s refined aesthetic sensibility,
the final outcome surpassed my initial expectations,
resulting in a sophisticated and natural appearance.
Throughout the recovery period,
the attentive care from Dr. Kim and the clinical staff
allowed me to heal comfortably and confidently.
Currently, at one month postoperative,
the previously upturned nasal tip has stabilized well,
and the nostril shapes have improved significantly,
contributing to a softer and more harmonious overall facial impression.
Functionally, symptoms of rhinitis have diminished considerably,
and nasal breathing has become much easier,
enhancing my quality of life.
The combined improvement in both form and function
has left me fully satisfied with the results.
I can confidently say that choosing Dr. Kim Hyun-joo at RU Plastic Surgery
was one of the best decisions I have ever made,
owing to his meticulous surgical skill
and profound aesthetic judgment.
