Before-before / after-after For my first nose surgery, I had silicone. But I didn’t like the shape, so 2 years later I added ear cartilage and had a revision, but I still didn’t like it, so I thought I should get another revision rhinoplasty? For the material, I was debating between autologous costal cartilage or donated costal cartilage, and then a friend had gotten a revision with autologous costal cartilage, so I asked and they told me about Director Kim Hyun-joo.
They said she also knows how to use autologous costal cartilage for the nasal bridge.
So I thought she must specialize in autologous costal cartilage and went for a consultation.
Maybe because it’s a one-doctor clinic, I felt like I was being treated well, and the consultation wasn’t rushed. She kept asking me what I was curious about, and clearly and honestly pointed out what could be improved and what might still be disappointing, so I just got the feeling: Let’s do it here! At this clinic!
They showed before-and-after photos in the hospital elevator and during the consultation,
and revision surgeries for contracted noses turned out dramatically and beautifully. I’d seen a lot on forums saying that using costal cartilage for the nasal bridge can cause warping, but for warping prevention, she explained how the surgery is done as if she were giving a real lecture, in a way that was easy to understand lol And they said that once the autologous costal cartilage incision site heals, during follow-up visits they’ll also provide scar laser treatment as a service with no limit on the number of sessions, so I put down a deposit haha
It was my first time using autologous costal cartilage, so the harvest site hurt a bit at first, but I got better quickly. Since the shape is pretty, I’m gaining patience too.. Now I think the major swelling is gone, and the director personally taught me how to apply swelling tape. It was also nice that the director removed the stitches herself. I also want the residual swelling to go down quickly, and I found a post in a community that organized swelling medications, so after reading that, I’m planning to take Tripline, Banosin, and Newvein.
