Before surgery, I was constantly bothered by my blunt-looking, slightly drooping nasal tip. Since I had already had surgery once, deciding on revision surgery was not easy. I wanted a natural change that suited my face rather than an obvious transformation, while still clearly improving the shape of my tip. While looking into revision surgery with autologous costal cartilage for the tip, I had a consultation at [Clinic A].
I explained in detail to Dr. [Doctor A] the nose shape I wanted and what I found disappointing about my previous nose. Rather than making it unconditionally glamorous, the doctor explained a natural direction that considered my overall facial proportions and harmony. The detailed explanation of how to improve my blunt and drooping tip gave me confidence in the surgery.
Now the blunt, drooping tip I had worried about before surgery has been clearly refined, and I think the natural yet glamorous look I wanted has also come through well. My family said it looked so natural that they would not have known I had rhinoplasty unless I told them first. The swelling was less than expected, and after removing the splint in about 3–4 days, I could return to daily life while wearing a mask.
Whenever I visited for suture removal or swelling laser treatment, Dr. [Doctor A] checked my condition carefully. The staff also guided me kindly, so I could visit comfortably throughout recovery. I had many worries because it was revision surgery with autologous costal cartilage, but now the issues I had been concerned about have improved naturally, and I am very satisfied!!
