It has already been 6 months since my revision nose surgery at Kowon, and I think even the last bit of swelling has completely gone down now.

When I look in the mirror, it looks so natural that I even forget I had surgery. It just looks like my own nose, but more naturally pretty, so I’m 10,000% satisfied...!

People around me, including friends, keep asking where I had it done and saying they want to go too,

and they also tell me my image looks prettier than before, which makes me so happy!

The reason it didn’t take long to decide on surgery after the consultation was that I felt so certain after talking with the doctor. The doctor has a really strong aesthetic sense.

From the very beginning of the consultation, they immediately pointed out the issues with my nose: a short nose and a pinched nose, as well as the strengths of my original nose: the youthful, rounded shape. After identifying the pros and cons right away, they said it would be good to proceed with surgery in a way that only addressed the weaknesses, brought out the strengths, and naturally made my facial image look prettier!

After taking photos, they adjusted the post-surgery shape with me right there using Photoshop, so instead of just talking about the feeling I wanted, they accurately refined it into a visible image. This was my first consultation that felt this straightforward and satisfying, so even now I think, how could I possibly not have decided to go ahead?

After the surgery, I had a bit of swelling for about 2 months, and even after 3 months, it continued to gradually go down little by little until now at 6 months, so it finally feels almost complete. If I had to sum up my satisfaction in one line, it would be:

'I think I would do it even sooner' — that’s how satisfied I am!

Because it used autologous rib cartilage, the result holds up well and has many advantages, and this is definitely a hospital that is confident with autologous rib cartilage, so I’m glad I chose to do it here.

Since plastic surgery is such a big decision in life, I think it’s right to find a good hospital for yourself and not skimp on cost when choosing the place that suits you best!

I’ve been so satisfied, and it makes me feel good every time I look in the mirror, so I’m writing a review again after a long time!

Have a happy day!

This is 'Puranarae Boseoni's' review of autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty at Kowon Plastic Surgery.

Hello, this is Director Kim Hyeong-taek of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

The case I’ll introduce this time is a nose where the tip looks short and is tilted up too much, showing the nostrils.

In general, a nose that looks short at the tip can give a youthful impression.

However, if the tip is too short and the nostrils are visible, it can also give a somewhat unrefined and old-fashioned impression.

Perhaps after the initial nose surgery, the nose may not have been this short.

After nose surgery, the tip becoming shorter is quite common.

Sometimes the cartilage gets resorbed, or the tissue at the tip becomes firm and contracts, making it shorter.

This is commonly referred to as contracture nose.

In this patient's case, judging from the area around the alar side looking unnaturally pinched,

it seems both factors were present.

To prevent recurrence of these issues, we used autologous rib cartilage, which has less resorption, and for a more natural line, we lowered the glabella and slightly extended the nasal tip.

In addition, there was asymmetry of the nostrils, so we corrected the asymmetry and also performed alar lowering to correct the feeling of the nostrils being visible.

After surgery, the nose looks much more stable in length and more natural than before.

In particular, the columella area below the nose looked too tight, making it appear like an upturned pig nose, but by allowing it to come down more comfortably, the face looks much slimmer and more feminine, which completed the surgery.
