The reason I decided to undergo surgery
was to improve my facial balance.
Because I have a prominent brow bone,
my glabella appeared relatively low,
so I wanted to enhance the T-zone
and achieve a more defined, masculine nose.
While browsing reviews on an online community,
I came across RU Plastic Surgery,
and found that Dr. Hyun Joo Kim’s aesthetic sense
closely matched the nose shape I wanted.
I decided to schedule my surgery on the same day as my consultation.
My surgical plan included
functional rhinoplasty,
bulbous tip correction,
autologous rib cartilage,
and a 3.5 mm silicone implant.
During the initial recovery period,
I experienced some difficulty breathing for the first one to two days,
which was uncomfortable.
However, the swelling and bruising were not severe,
and I was able to return to daily activities relatively quickly.
Now at one month post-op,
even with some residual swelling,
I am already satisfied with the result,
and I am looking forward to further improvement over time.
