3-Month Review After Nose Surgery With Autologous Costal Cartilage

Hello. I’m leaving a review now that it has been about 3 months since I had nose surgery. As time has passed, my nose has gradually blended naturally with my face, and these days it has stabilized so much that I’m barely conscious of the fact that I had surgery. In the beginning, there were parts that bothered me because of swelling and a foreign-body sensation, but after about 3 months, most of that discomfort disappeared, and now it does not interfere with my daily life at all. Before rhinoplasty, it was not something that stood out noticeably on the outside, but personally, the hump kept bothering me, so I tended to feel stressed whenever I looked at my side profile. When taking photos, I would worry about the angle, and I had a habit of unconsciously checking my nasal line. After the surgery, those areas improved naturally, and I feel that the biggest change is that the stress I felt in everyday life has decreased a lot. I’m especially satisfied that the nasal line, which used to look interrupted because of the hump, has been smoothly refined, making my overall side profile look much more natural and smooth. It does not feel overly high or obvious; it feels naturally refined as if it had always been my nose, so I like it even more. I can now look in the mirror or take photos with a much more comfortable mind. Also, as time passes, I can feel it settling more and more naturally, so my satisfaction is gradually increasing. At first, I was worried about when the final result would fully show, but now I feel more expectant that it will get even better as time goes by. Recently, I visited RU Plastic Surgery to have my progress checked, and Director Kim Hyun-joo told me that my current nose shape is being maintained stably and that my recovery is progressing very well, which reassured me. The parts I was curious about were also explained in detail, so I trusted them even more, and I was told that the remaining subtle swelling can also settle more naturally with time. Before deciding on surgery, I had many concerns, but now my satisfaction is so high that I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. More than anything, I like the feeling that my impression has been naturally refined without looking excessive, and I feel even more satisfied because people around me have also told me that my impression looks much cleaner. I’m already fully satisfied with my current state, but I’m also looking forward to how it will look once more time passes and my nose has completely settled. For those considering nose surgery at RU, I think it could be a good choice if you want a natural and not burdensome change.
