It has already been three months since my revision rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage! Before having revision rhinoplasty at [Clinic A] this time, I did not like my nostrils that were very visible from both the front and side, the awkward columellar line, and I wanted to raise my lowered nasal tip. When I first met Dr. [Doctor A] at [Clinic A], I emphasized the shape of the nasal tip and lowering the columella, asking for it to be made pretty. As I watched the swelling go down, I realized that everything I wanted had been reflected in the result. I like the nasal line as it gradually settles, both in profile and from the front. Above all, I used to worry about asymmetry when taking photos and would always look only for the side angle that photographed well. These days, being able to take photos comfortably from the front or the opposite side has been my biggest change. My friends ask me whether this is what a natural-yet-glamorous nose is, and I think my nose is natural but also striking haha. I had revision rhinoplasty with a custom 3D implant and autologous costal cartilage, so at first the nasal tip was hard and facial expressions felt awkward, and the autologous costal cartilage harvest site was also a little uncomfortable when moving. After three months, remarkably, the nasal tip has become a little softer than at first, and before I knew it, the autologous costal cartilage harvest site also improved; I am living normally without pain. For revision rhinoplasty, really research thoroughly and visit clinics in person, and make sure to cover every detail you want. That way, you can confirm whether it matches your aesthetic preferences and be satisfied!
