2022 revision rhinoplasty journey in korea
- Thread starter neur1ps
- Start date
Third week.
Very happy about the shape and look forward to updating in 2 weeks more, then 8 months, and 2 year, 3 year mark. Revision rhino is a journey. Somehow, I’m healing so much faster than my primary open rhinoplasty. The hyperbaric oxygen and light therapy really help.
The tip is still swollen but I love the definition, it’s just gonna look better and better. The 3/4ths is the view people see most often and I am obsessed with it.
I used to have to breathe laboriously and it occupied a lot of my mental space. Now I don’t really think about breathing anymore unless I get a lot of mucus stuck in there. It frees up so much mental space.

Hi and thank you so much for sharing your experience. 
I think your nose looks so beautiful now! I'm looking for a doctor for a revision rhinoplasty and I will add your doctor to my list. Does dr. Kang speak English?

Sorry, do you mind sharing their Whatsapp number? I contacted them through their website, but didn't receive a reply and I can't find their Whatsapp number anywhere. Hopefully they still take foreign patients...
yes it is. It is 3 months now. I wish I went to him for primary.
I went to an ENT for second opinion check up last week and it looked like a perfect nose, symmetricalnostrils and healthy inside with no swelling or pus anywhere. It’s like he didn’t do the surgery at all.
People compliment my face and tell me I look ‘perfect’ now and it’s not noticeable because my face is pretty angular and sharp. The slope is great. I’m really thankful for Dr Kang.
In hindsight, I would not have touched my nose at all. But if I wanted to, I would only trust someone like Dr Kang.
I’m gonna attach the noses I showed him to this post. as well as my front and side profile now. He really did his best while making sure I can breathe.

7 months update. Time flies and I don’t notice anything which is a testament to how great of a surgeon he is. I didn’t think it was possible for it to look great from every angle and still be functional, but it is. I’m exercising heavily again. I have to use my mouth to breathe sometime but it’s better than what it was after the first nose. Every day I’m grateful he was my revision surgeon.
