Reason for Undergoing Autologous Rib Rhinoplasty and Two-Month Postoperative Experience After Functional Rhinoplasty
본문
The reason I decided to undergo autologous rib rhinoplasty
was because my face appeared flat, which had long been a personal concern,
and I wanted to improve overall facial definition.
For this reason, I chose to proceed with rhinoplasty
using autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant
at RU Plastic Surgery.
It has now been a little over two months
since my male functional rhinoplasty.
In daily life, I often forget that I even had surgery,
as there is almost no foreign body sensation
or tightness in my nose.
At around one month postoperatively,
I felt some pulling in the nose when using my mouth,
but now, even when smiling,
that sensation has nearly disappeared.
However, when I wake up in the morning,
there is sometimes a firm sensation
for about one to two hours
when mild swelling is present.
At my one-month follow-up appointment,
I met with Dr. Kim Hyun Joo,
who carefully explained the precautions
I should continue to observe moving forward.
He also provided a nasal irrigation device,
which I now use periodically for nasal cleansing
as part of my postoperative care.
