As you can see, my nose was really severely bulbous, and personally, the thing that stressed me out the most was how my nostrils would spread wide to both sides when I smiled^^ I went to consultations at 4 places in total, and the doctors all said that my nasal bridge itself was thick and my nasal tip was very blunt, so honestly it was a difficult nose! I told them I really didn’t want alar base reduction, you know? But almost all of them recommended it like, “With this nose, you absolutely have to do it,” so I was even more torn Among them, Dr. Kim Dae-hwa at one hospital told me that if I didn’t want a dramatic-looking nose, I didn’t necessarily need alar base reduction, and I could feel that he looked at the design in really close detail, so in the end I got my rhinoplasty at that hospital! I also debated a lot between autologous costal cartilage and donated costal cartilage, but he explained the differences well and said donated costal cartilage would probably suit my nose condition better, so I decided on donated costal cartilage! Looking back now, I think I made the right choice with the material too👍 What I like most after this rhinoplasty is that my side profile has much more dimensionality now!! From the front, there’s still some swelling around the alar area, so I think I’ll need to wait a little longer for that. But honestly, even with the swelling, compared to before, I’m just so grateful Only my nose changed, but people around me keep asking if I lost weight, and all I can think is that I did such a good job getting rid of my bulbous nose My satisfaction is super high🫶

Nose Surgery Reviews@rhino-reviewJan 14 I wanted a nose like Go Youn-jung’s
