Before my revision rhinoplasty, I really hated how my nostril wings looked long because of columellar retraction and how my mouth looked protruded. I was always bothered by how flat my nose looked overall and wanted to improve it, so I decided to have revision surgery.
I found out about the plastic surgery clinic while reading cafe reviews saying they were good at revision rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage. In the review photos, the nose shape was a straight-to-slightly-curved bridge with a round, defined nasal tip, exactly the style I wanted! After the consultation, I decided right away to have rhinoplasty there.
I had a consultation with Director Kim Hyun-joo, and she explained my nose condition and the causes of my columellar retraction in great detail. Rather than simply making it higher no matter what, she considered the overall balance of my face and explained, while drawing, which areas would be improved and how, so I felt I could trust her.
The surgery I decided to receive was revision rhinoplasty + silicone implant for the nasal bridge + autologous costal cartilage for the nasal tip + nasolabial angle correction.
Even during the recovery process after the revision surgery, I often felt that the clinic’s care was well organized. Every time I visited, they carefully checked my swelling and recovery progress, and whenever I had questions or any discomfort, they explained things right away, so I felt reassured.
They also gave detailed guidance on precautions for each stage of recovery, so it wasn’t very difficult to manage.
My nasal tip, which used to look flat, has improved, and the columella has naturally come down, so both the front and side views look much more three-dimensional. Now my nose line suits my face overall, so I’m really satisfied.
