Five years ago, I had my first rhinoplasty at a clinic known for doing revision surgery well. Since it was my first surgery, I was a little scared of factory-style clinics, so I only looked for one-doctor clinics. Even now, five years later, I’m living very happily with the result haha.
They used my septum and used it to lower the columella. The only implant was silicone! The surgeon strongly pursued natural beauty and didn’t push various procedures. Since it was my first surgery, I think they said they would do their best without using costal cartilage.
When I consulted at other clinics, they all recommended donor cartilage or autologous costal cartilage. This was the only clinic that said they could do it without those, so I chose it.
As I’ve gotten older, more friends around me have had rhinoplasty, and one friend even said that among everyone they’ve seen, mine was the best rhinoplasty. It turned out really well. There is absolutely no obvious sign, and friends who hadn’t seen me in a long time just said, “You’ve gotten prettier~” It was an improvement at that level!!
I’m very satisfied and still have no side effects, but I’m living carefully. It seems I paid somewhat more than average, but I truly don’t regret it. I hope everyone researches carefully!
