A 4-month update after revision surgery for a crooked nose (autologous costal cartilage, silicone)

Hello, I’m a man in my 30s.I had mostly been reading nose-surgery information, and I thought this might help men who are stressed out by a crooked nose or revision rhinoplasty like I was, so I’m leaving a 4-month before-and-after review to mark the occasion!I had my first surgery in the past, but my nose looked a little crooked and, as time went on, I became increasingly unhappy with it overall, so I felt a lot of stress every time I looked in the mirror.For this revision, I truly treated it as my last chance, so I visited many clinics and, after a lot of deliberation, I had surgery with Dr. Kim Hyun-woo at Wont Clinic.At the consultation, there were exactly two conditions I asked for.1. I wanted the drooping tip to be lifted firmly.2. At the same time, if the nose looked too long it could make me look older, so I wanted the bridge to be lowered just slightly while keeping the overall balance.The bridge was reshaped smoothly again with silicone, and for the tip, whose support had weakened, we decided to use strong autologous costal cartilage.We also planned the surgery to lower the columella so that the proportions would look just right from the front.The cost was not small because this was a revision surgery and I also used autologous costal cartilage, so I did worry about it, but now that I’m at the 4-month mark, I do not think at all that the money was wasted every time I look in the mirror!As you can see from the photos, before surgery the bridge line was not smooth and the tip had a strong blunt drooping look.Now, even from the front, the crooked appearance has been completely corrected, and the tip feels very firm.The doctor carefully refined the line, so the nose does not look long, yet it has a very masculine straight profile.Because it was autologous costal cartilage, the tip still feels a bit stiff, but it seems to be getting more natural, so I’m not too worried, and there is no pain or discomfort anymore.Ever since my first surgery failed and I was looking for a revision clinic, I had been mentally exhausted, so I can only be grateful to Dr. Kim Hyun-woo for identifying the structural issue so accurately and creating exactly the shape I wanted.T_TFor men considering rhinoplasty, especially crooked-nose correction or revision surgery with autologous costal cartilage, if you want a refined straight-line look that is not too long, I recommend going for a consultation at Wont Clinic!
