1-Month Review After Full Autologous Rib Cartilage Revision Rhinoplasty (Infection Case) Surgery at RU Plastic Surgery
본문
About 20 years ago, I had my first rhinoplasty using only a silicone implant.
Recently, I began experiencing discomfort—
a persistent foreign body sensation and a visible indentation along the nasal bridge.
After visiting an ENT clinic,
I was told that I had developed an infection related to the old silicone implant
and that revision surgery was necessary.
While researching clinics that specialize in revision rhinoplasty,
I came across RU Plastic Surgery.
What stood out to me was their extensive experience with implant-free,
all-autologous reconstruction using rib cartilage.
I scheduled a consultation to discuss a full autologous rib cartilage revision
for both the nasal bridge and the nasal tip.
During my visit, the consultation manager first explained the overall process,
schedule, and recovery flow in a clear and organized way,
which helped ease my concerns before meeting the doctor.
Dr. Hyunjoo Kim then examined my nose directly
and provided very detailed explanations about the condition of the implant,
the cause of the infection, and how the revision surgery would be approached.
Just like during the consultation,
Dr. Kim continued to explain everything carefully even after the surgery.
He encouraged me to ask questions at every step
and handled the entire process in a calm and reassuring manner.
Now that the surgery is complete,
I feel relieved knowing that the source of infection has been removed
and replaced entirely with my own rib cartilage.
That alone has lifted a huge psychological burden for me.
Since it has only been one month,
there is still some residual swelling,
so I plan to continue monitoring how everything settles over time.
Overall, I feel reassured and positive about my recovery,
and I am confident that choosing RU Plastic Surgery was the right decision.
