One-Month Review After Revision Rhinoplasty for a Long, Pointed, Drooping Nasal Tip

본문

Before / 1m post-op

Before my revision rhinoplasty, my nose looked relatively low overall, and I was especially stressed by the long, pointed nasal tip that also appeared somewhat droopy.

I was also unhappy with how my nose looked from the front and hoped to achieve a more natural and refined contour from the 45-degree and side views as well, which ultimately led me to consider revision rhinoplasty.

While comparing before-and-after photos and reviews from several clinics, I came across RU Plastic Surgery and really liked the way they created results that looked natural yet still had enough definition.

During my consultation with Dr. Hyunju Kim, he carefully listened to each of my concerns and recommended changes that would suit my facial proportions without making the nose look excessive or overdone.

That gave me a great deal of confidence, and I ultimately decided to proceed with revision rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage.

Up until around the two-week mark, I was still a little concerned because of the more noticeable swelling and some remaining bruising.

Now that I am one month postoperative, however, most of the major swelling has subsided, and I can clearly see that the nasal line looks much cleaner and more refined.

I have also been following the postoperative care instructions provided by the clinic as carefully as possible, and in my case, I feel that the recovery has been progressing quite smoothly.

People around me have also commented that the nose does not look overly done and that the nasal tip looks naturally more defined.

Several people have even asked me where I had the surgery.

The autologous rib cartilage donor site also feels much more comfortable now, without any significant discomfort in everyday life.

There is still some residual swelling, so I am looking forward to seeing how much more natural the nose becomes as it continues to settle.

At the one-month stage, I am already very satisfied and find myself enjoying the changes every time I look in the mirror.
