It has already been a little over a month since I underwent rhinoplasty
using autologous rib cartilage.
After the nasal splint and silicone sheet were removed,
time seems to have flown by.
To be honest, the discomfort was harder to deal with than the actual pain,
so the recovery period felt quite challenging at times.
However, because I had the surgery at RU Plastic Surgery,
I truly feel confident that I won’t need a second nose surgery.
Before deciding, I consulted with eight different clinics.
Through those consultations, I learned that many surgeons said
I did not have enough septal cartilage.
That’s why, from the beginning,
I only considered clinics that specialize in autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty.
Looking back now, I know that if I had proceeded
using only septal and ear cartilage,
I would have seriously regretted that decision.
A significant amount of swelling has already subsided,
and every time I visit RU Plastic Surgery,
Dr. Kim Hyun-joo personally checks my condition himself.
Even after the main treatment period ended,
he continues to monitor my progress during follow-ups
without rushing the appointments,
which reassures me that I truly made the right choice.
I am genuinely grateful that my very first rhinoplasty
was done at a clinic like this.
