3 Months Post-Op: Rib Cartilage Tip + Silicone Bridge + Columellar Lengthening + Nasolabial Angle Correction + Bulbous Tip Refinement

본문

I finally had rhinoplasty after years of hesitating due to concerns about side effects and timing.

Since I was 17, I had been insecure about my low nasal bridge, round tip, and wide nostrils—

but I wasn’t necessarily expecting a dramatic, high nose. I just wanted my nose to show from the side and to look more balanced overall.

Most of all, I wanted a safe result with no complications.

After researching through GangnamUnni, Babitalk, and online reviews,

I came across R U Plastic Surgery and was impressed by their natural-looking results.

During my consultation, Dr. Kim Hyun-joo explained everything thoroughly and gave me confidence about the safety of the surgery,

so I decided to trust her with my first (and hopefully last!) nose job.

Surgical details:

Rib cartilage graft for the nasal tip
Silicone implant for the bridge
Columellar lengthening
Nasolabial angle correction
Bulbous tip correction

My experience post-op:

At first, the swelling made the bridge look wider than I expected, and I honestly panicked a bit.

But around 1 month post-op, the swelling really started to go down, and now at 3 months, the line looks so sleek and natural.

My nose used to be very low and blunt, so even though the bridge was raised quite a bit, it doesn’t look overdone at all. It feels natural—like my own nose.

Breathing also feels totally normal, which was a major concern for me.

I was also worried about asymmetrical nostrils (which I’ve heard is common), but mine turned out even in both size and shape, which I’m really happy with.

One small downside: when my nose gets stuffy, I can only use saline spray since I can’t blow it yet—that’s been a bit inconvenient. And if I’m honest,

I kind of wish I’d had alar base reduction (nostril narrowing) done at the same time. My nostrils did get slightly narrower from the tip projection,

but not as much as I’d hoped. Still, I’m too nervous to go through another surgery just for that, so I’ll live with it!

Lastly, I really appreciated how fast and responsive the clinic was via text. I was super anxious the first few weeks and messaged them a lot with tiny concerns,

but they always replied kindly—even late at night—which really helped ease my stress.

Overall, I’m genuinely happy with my result. It’s natural, balanced, and finally feels like the nose I was meant to have.
