6-Month Review After Rhinoplasty Using Autologous Rib Cartilage at RU Plastic Surgery > 리얼셀카 | RU성형외과

It’s already been six months since I had surgery with Dr. Hyun Joo Kim at RU Plastic Surgery. After about a month post-op,

my nose looked so natural that, aside from the small columellar incision scar, it would be impossible to tell I had rhinoplasty.

In daily life, I realized how often we accidentally bump our noses—usually with my own hands. Thankfully,

since my surgery was done using autologous rib cartilage, my nose feels firm and stable,

and I’ve had no major issues from minor impacts.

At first, I worried whether using rib cartilage would cause the nose to become crooked over time,

but that hasn’t happened at all. The shape has remained consistent, and I’m really happy with how natural and balanced the result looks.

People around me often say they can't even tell I had surgery, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

From the side view, there’s been a noticeable transformation. From the front, I had relatively little swelling,

so the results didn’t look obvious—just naturally improved. My eyes also appear softer now,

and because the nose gives structure to the face, I’ve been told my overall facial balance has improved significantly.

Of course, I’ll need to be more careful with my nose from now on, but I feel like what I’ve gained from the surgery far outweighs that.

The result is both natural-looking and image-enhancing. At six months post-op, I can confidently say I’m very satisfied.
