I suffered from sinusitis for about 1-2 months every year, and from the end of 2024 through 2025, the sinusitis continued. Around the 6-month mark, I decided on surgery and decided to have surgery with Director Hong xx at GNG Hospital. I had consultations at 2-3 places, but based on the fact that it was close to my home (Songpa-gu), the clean facilities, and decent reviews, I decided on surgery. Functional rhinoplasty was the priority, but I was also very interested in cosmetic rhinoplasty, so I asked in detail and proceeded. Because my nasal bridge was low and my nose was not large, it was judged that ear cartilage + septal cartilage would be unsuitable for cosmetic rhinoplasty, so I decided on surgery using donated rib cartilage. (I refused autologous costal cartilage because I had a strong aversion to it.) It has currently been about +10 days, and I am satisfied. I have not fully recovered yet, so the inside of my nose does not feel clear, but after removing the supports and cotton inside my nose, it became bearable. During the 10 days of recovery, I was overwhelmed with regret, thinking, “I should have only done functional nose surgery; why did I do cosmetic rhinoplasty at the same time?” But as time goes by, the swelling is going down and the shape seems to be settling, so my satisfaction is gradually increasing! Everyone, if you are considering cosmetic rhinoplasty + functional rhinoplasty together, please think it through carefully!
