Six-Month Review After Primary Implant-Free Rhinoplasty
본문
Before /6m post-op
I injured my nose a long time ago, and over the years, I gradually noticed that the nasal bones were becoming slightly deviated and that the shape of my nasal tip seemed to be changing as well.
It became a major source of stress for me, and after thinking about surgery for a long time, I finally decided to undergo rhinoplasty.
For my first rhinoplasty, autologous rib cartilage was used to provide stronger support and definition to the nasal tip, and I also had my dorsal hump corrected at the same time.
Before choosing a clinic, I compared several places that had been recommended by friends who were happy with their own rhinoplasty results, along with clinics I had researched myself.
Out of all of them, RU Plastic Surgery stood out to me the most.
When I went in for the consultation, the overall experience also felt noticeably different from the other clinics I had visited.
I spent a significant amount of time consulting directly with Dr. Hyunju Kim, and when he explained the surgical plan, he even used a presentation to show how the internal structure of my nose would be changed.
He explained everything in a way that was specific to my condition, which helped ease a lot of the anxiety I had before surgery.
Now that six months have passed, even the residual swelling has subsided significantly, and I no longer feel that my nose looks swollen.
The overall shape also feels very well settled and natural at this stage.
I had also been worried about the scar, but it has become noticeably lighter over time, which has been reassuring to see.
Most importantly, I feel that the nasal line suits both my facial features and overall image extremely well.
Several friends who saw my result liked the change enough to ask me for the clinic information, and some of them eventually went to Dr. Kim for their own consultations as well.
In addition to the cosmetic rhinoplasty, I underwent osteotomy, bulbous tip correction, dorsal hump correction, and two functional nasal procedures for rhinitis.
For me, the improvement has not only been cosmetic.
I also feel that breathing has become much more comfortable than before, which has made a noticeable difference in my everyday quality of life.
Overall, at six months postoperatively, I am very satisfied with both the appearance of my nose and how comfortable it feels.
