My nose was originally on the low side, and from the front the tip looked wide, so every time I took photos I was really self-conscious. I also had severe rhinitis, so I was even considering rhinitis surgery. After thinking about it for years, I finally made up my mind this time and went ahead with autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty and functional nose surgery.
After visiting several clinics, RU Plastic Surgery had a nose shape close to what I wanted, and the reviews were good, so I went in for a consultation. I had a lot of concerns besides my nose, but Director Kim Hyunju understood the issues even before I explained them and told me everything honestly. She also explained the rhinitis surgery and the surgical method in detail, and while listening, I felt like this was the place I should choose.
Before the surgery, honestly, I was extremely scared, but the actual day passed in a blur. I went under anesthesia and when I woke up, it was already over. The biggest struggle was breathing through my mouth because there was packing in my nose. Still, I was glad they removed the packing the next day after surgery.
When the splint came off, I saw the line properly and was satisfied. It seems to have turned out with the feeling I wanted. People around me said, "Your vibe changed" and "You look prettier," which made me even happier. About a month later, the swelling had mostly gone down, and the photos really came out so well. It makes me wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. I am truly satisfied so far, and above all, taking photos has become much more enjoyable than before.
