3-Week Postoperative Review: Alar Base & Nasolabial Angle Correction
본문
After
My goal in undergoing rhinoplasty was to achieve a more defined facial structure and correct my bulbous nasal tip. After reading positive reviews on social media, I came across RU Plastic Surgery and began following Dr. Hyunjoo Kim on Instagram. I was impressed by her extensive experience with revision rhinoplasty and her in-depth understanding of nasal anatomy, particularly regarding autologous rib cartilage. The clinic’s lifetime follow-up policy also gave me confidence in the long-term commitment to patient care.
My procedure included osteotomy, bulbous tip correction, nasolabial angle adjustment, dorsal augmentation with silicone, and nasal tip support using autologous rib cartilage.
During recovery, I experienced minimal discomfort in the nose itself; however, the rib cartilage harvest site was more painful than expected and required some patience in the early healing phase.
That said, the results so far have been very satisfying. The nasolabial angle correction significantly improved my profile, and the nasal dorsum now adds definition to my facial features. I’m pleased with the outcome at this stage and look forward to the continued refinement as swelling subsides.
