My Eye and Nose Surgery Review at RU Plastic Surgery > 리얼셀카 | RU성형외과

Since childhood, my low nose had always been one of my biggest insecurities.

I considered rhinoplasty for nearly 10 years, but my fear of surgery was always stronger, so I repeatedly gave up on the idea.

Even after building confidence in many other areas of my life, I found it difficult to overcome the insecurity I felt about my appearance.

After researching rhinoplasty and giving up several times, I eventually decided that rather than worrying about it forever,

it would be better to have surgery while I was still young and could recover more easily.

Once I made the decision, I researched clinics that matched the style I wanted and visited more than 10 places for consultations.

During that process, several surgeons suggested that ptosis correction would create a greater aesthetic improvement than rhinoplasty alone,

so I decided to undergo double eyelid surgery at the same time.

RU Plastic Surgery was one of the clinics I visited because the results looked natural and matched my personal aesthetic.

Among all the clinics I consulted, Dr. Hyun Joo Kim was the only surgeon who gave me confidence in both safety and aesthetic judgment,

so I scheduled surgery on the same day as my consultation.

I appreciated how he used presentation materials to explain the surgical techniques in detail.

He was clearly confident in his experience and surgical skills, but still placed my preferences and desired style first, which gave me a great deal of trust.

For my eyes, I underwent incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty.

For my nose, I had primary rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage and DCF for the bridge,

along with columella lowering, bulbous tip correction, and functional nasal surgery.

The eye surgery was performed first under local anesthesia,

followed by the rhinoplasty under general anesthesia.

Even though I was the final patient of the day, Dr. Hyun Joo Kim showed no signs of fatigue and performed the surgery with confidence.

During the incisional eye surgery, he even asked what music I liked and played it for me,

which helped relieve a lot of my nervousness.

Considering how frightened I had been, the recovery after my eye and nose surgery was more manageable than expected.

The rib donor site and nasal packing were uncomfortable for the first few days,

but aside from that, I had very little pain around the surgical areas.

My recovery was also relatively fast, so I spent each day looking forward to seeing how my nose would continue to change.

While I was wearing the splint, the visible tip looked small, round, and very pretty, so I couldn’t wait to have the splint removed.

However, for about two weeks afterward, the swelling made my nose look much wider and heavier than expected.

By around one month, most of the major swelling had gone down,

and my nose had settled into the small, softly rounded shape I wanted.

After the first month, I started meeting friends again, and many of them were surprised by how much prettier I looked.

Most could tell that my eyes had changed because my overall impression was different,

but they often didn’t realize I had rhinoplasty because the result looked so natural.

I also feel that the empty space in my face has been reduced,

while both my eyes and nose look natural and harmonious without appearing awkward.

Since Dr. Hyun Joo Kim is especially known for rhinoplasty, I was initially a little uncertain about the eye surgery.

However, when he designed the eye shape before surgery, I explained exactly what I wanted,

and he created the line beautifully according to my preferences, so I’m extremely satisfied.

Recently, I met a plastic surgeon who told me that my nose looked beautiful but did not look surgically enhanced.

I was also told that I resembled the celebrity reference photo I had shown Dr. Hyun Joo Kim before surgery,

and those compliments made me incredibly happy and proud of my decision.

After considering surgery for 10 years, I truly feel that it was worth it.

I’m very satisfied with the aesthetic result,

and I also feel reassured that my bridge was reconstructed using my own tissue rather than silicone.

I wouldn’t recommend plastic surgery to everyone,

but for those who have thought about it carefully for a long time, I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Hyun Joo Kim.

He genuinely considers each patient’s perspective and works with great care and attention to detail.

I’m extremely satisfied with my results.
