3 Weeks After Autologous Rib Cartilage Nose Surgery Review
본문
Before surgery, my nasal tip was low and looked blunt, and honestly, I wasn’t happy with it.
After my jaw surgery, my nose also felt slightly twisted and leaned more to one side.
On top of that, my columella (the area beneath the nose) was sunken in,
which caused me a lot of stress.
I wanted a nose that looked sharp and well-defined—
a result that anyone could admire.
I also wanted to fix the blocky look, asymmetry, and everything else that bothered me.
Because I live outside the city, visiting clinics was the hardest part.
I went to more than 10 places—some known for eyelid surgery, some popular for rhinoplasty,
and even many “trendy” clinics.
But the more consultations I had, the more disappointed I became,
and my concerns only kept growing.
What mattered most to me was:
- Does the surgeon communicate well during consultation?
- Does the surgeon’s plan match what I want?
Also, because I’m prone to scarring and keloids,
I preferred as few incision sites as possible.
Other clinics told me I would need cartilage from multiple areas,
which made the decision even harder.
After feeling exhausted and overwhelmed,
I decided to try one final consultation at RU Plastic Surgery—
and it truly felt like finding a hidden gem.
The consultation was the most detailed and clear by far.
Dr. Hyun Joo Kim immediately understood the nose shape I wanted,
and he explained everything thoroughly with drawings and precise details,
which made me trust him completely.
What I appreciated most was that there were only two incision sites:
one on the nose and one at the rib cartilage harvest site.
The consultation was never rushed.
Dr. Kim was extremely kind and explained everything from a patient’s perspective
in a way that was easy to understand.
After I left, I couldn’t stop thinking about it,
and I just knew, “This is the place.”
So I booked the surgery.
I even brought a friend with me,
and she said she would want her surgery here too—
so now we joke that we’re going to be “nose twins.”
The result is exactly the sharp nose I wanted,
and my columella has been corrected beautifully as well.
Before surgery, Dr. Kim carefully designed a nose that suited my facial structure
and worked meticulously to correct my asymmetry.
The swelling was far less than I expected—
it honestly looked like I had just eaten ramen and fallen asleep.
I also had no bruising at all.
Right after surgery, I barely felt pain in my nose—just a mild tingling sensation.
As Dr. Kim warned, the rib harvest site was a bit sore,
but it was nowhere near as bad as I had feared.
Because I have a history of rhinitis,
having my nose packed wasn’t too uncomfortable,
and I took my prescribed medication immediately after surgery.
At every visit, Dr. Kim personally checked on my progress,
which was truly reassuring.
I asked countless questions,
and everyone was patient and kind.
Throughout recovery, I had no major issues,
and I’m extremely happy with the results.
Dr. Kim, the nurse in charge, and all the staff were so kind and attentive,
and I’m genuinely grateful.
Now I take selfies whenever I get the chance
and show off my nose during video calls.
My satisfaction level is 100000%!
I honestly can’t imagine what might have happened
if I hadn’t found RU Plastic Surgery.
I’m so glad I chose this clinic.
Thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful nose!
And one more thing—I’m genuinely curious what Dr. Kim’s MBTI is.
He’s meticulous, precise, incredibly detailed… truly the best.
