Got autologous costal cartilage nose surgery while going for that NewJeans Minji vibe~

I had been stressed for a really long time because of the combo of a hooked nose and a bulbous nose, so I finally gathered my courage and had surgery~ My preferred look was a NewJeans Minji vibe, so rather than something flashy, I wanted a natural straight-but-slightly-turned-up line! When I first looked for reviews, I saw many cases where people used ear cartilage or septal cartilage and then needed revision because the nasal tip support got weak, so I figured I shouldn’t suffer twice for no reason and should go all in once, which is why I chose autologous costal cartilage for the material. I had the surgery with Dr. Choong-cheol Choo at [Clinic D], and from the consultation onward, his direction matched exactly what I had in mind, and he understood my preferred look amazingly well, so I chose here. Now that I’ve entered the stable stage after surgery, I can clearly feel that the nose line has been neatly refined. What makes me think I made the right choice with autologous costal cartilage is that I heard bulbous noses need internal support the most, and because it firmly supports the thick, spread-out nasal tip from below, the tip looks slimmer without looking spread, and the hooked part became neat too, so my whole face seems more refined. Comparing old photos with the before-and-after makes the difference really obvious, which is honestly amazing! There’s absolutely no artificial or overdone feeling, and it looks exactly like the clean straight line I wanted with that NewJeans Minji vibe, so I really feel like I was right to have surgery with a surgeon who has aesthetic sense. Nose surgery was a huge task for me, but after this surgery the result came out so well that I feel relieved, like I finally let go of a big worry!
