Three-Month Review After Facial Contouring and Rhinoplasty in My 40s
본문
I had long been self-conscious about my undefined facial contour and wide, bulbous nose.
These concerns led me to look for a clinic that specializes in both facial contouring and rhinoplasty.
During my search, I came across RU Plastic Surgery and was impressed by the consistently strong reviews.
After learning that Dr. Hyunjoo Kim had extensive experience as a former major hospital surgeon with a strong track record in both procedures,
I decided to schedule a consultation. During the consultation, I felt reassured by Dr. Kim’s professional background and the recommendation
I received from a medical professional acquaintance.
Despite being older than the average cosmetic surgery patient, I felt confident placing my trust in Dr. Kim.
Recovery was definitely not easy. Due to my age, I experienced more swelling than expected, and for the first one to two months,
the changes—especially from facial contouring—felt minimal. However, now at the three-month mark, I can clearly see how much my facial shape has improved.
During my follow-up, we compared pre- and post-op photos, and the transformation was striking.
Many people warned me that undergoing facial contouring and rhinoplasty at the same time would be too much to handle—and I can’t deny that the recovery was tough.
I had difficulty eating and breathing through my nose due to packing. But since the nasal packing was removed the day after surgery, it became manageable.
Looking back, doing both procedures at once was the right decision. Despite the initial difficulty,
reaching the three-month mark with such visible improvement makes the experience entirely worth it.
