Do NOT go to Jin Hong Ryul unless you prefer:
He is a pure ENT. Not a plastic surgeon! He has absolutely no aesthetic eyes. He literally prefers ugly noses with features listed above.
He is a total moron when it comes to aesthetics. First, watch the video below and decide for yourself if what he says makes any sense. Unfortunately, his ugly noses never “disappear”.
Then, go to https://www.rhinoplastykorea.com/rhinoplasty-surgeon
There are 3 surgeons. Decide for yourself who makes the most beautiful nose and who’s nose is the ugliest.
I had a saddled nose from a previous failed septoplasty. I searched online and someone recommended him. I went to him for surgery in March, last year. I showed him multiple high definition photos of my original nose photos --- a nice supratip break and nice projection. Such photos were not taken with mobile phones. They were taken with professional cameras.
He simply put spreader grafts and an onlay graft on me. And my nose turned out to be like this (see photo). He charged me $12,000 and I did not haggle the price.
Immediately after the surgery, I noticed he took a shortcut and gave me no projection. He gave me monkey-like retruded upper lip because he did not put in a septal extension graft. I later consulted other rhinoplasty surgeons. No rhinoplasty surgeons in the world would fix a saddled nose like he did. They could not imagine why Jin Hong Ryul could make a suggestion to fix my nose like he did.
Jin Hong Ryul actually had the audacity to tell me right after the surgery: “the surgery went well.” What a moron.
7 days later, he charged me another $1000 to in-fracture my right-side turbinate while sitting in his office chair. Took 30 minutes under local anesthesia. My American doctors thought that was an outrageous price. But I didn't haggle with him.
He put me through hell for the following 12 months after the first surgery without offering a solution over the email to ease my mind, even though I repeatedly asked him. He would not reply to my email.
12 months after the surgery, I went back to his office in Seoul, Korea. He started out by arguing with me for more than a half hour saying his surgery delivered what I asked of him. He actually first believed that he could fix my nose without additional rib cartilage! That is how crazy this moron’s aesthetic view was! He loves flat face with no nose. He loves monkey-like protruded mouths.
After arguing for an hour, he said he would give me only 2 or 3 mm of projection of the tip --- that is how crazy and stupid he is. 2 or 3 mm.
I then visited multiple rhinoplasty surgeons in Seoul for the following week. Nobody could believe he did my surgery without a septal extension graft. Unthinkable! Total idiot. 2 plastic surgeons told me he is an ENT, not a plastic surgeon.
I went to his office to him for maybe another 10 times during the next 20 days. Showed the 3D morphing I got from Dr. Toriumi, Dr. Donald Yoo, Dr. Yong Ju Jang. Dr. Yong Ju Jang's sophisticated modeling says my nose needed exactly 5.8 mm projection. Dr. Jin then said to me: "I hate it when we talk in terms of millimeters. . ."
He didn’t even want to put additional onlay graft on my nose. He wanted to patch something on top. I was so frustrated and I started crying. I told him this approach would not make my bridge smooth. He finally verbally agreed to put a fresh layer of onlay graft on the entire nose.
I calculated ratios. I wrote down the ratios next to my morphed photo. Drew the lines. Pointed out exactly the top 3 priorities of what I wanted in my nose:
I also asked for a Supratip. I even asked for it before the first surgery last year. Jin Hong Ryul would not tell you straight that he does not do that. He wil stay quiet and let you find out later.
I told him my priority is not to lengthen my nose. My priority was to get more projection that my original nose. He thought I was absurd. He is a total moron with no esthetics.
He asked for another $6000 for fix this mess. I did not argue.
A day before the revision surgery, I even went to his office for the last time. Showed him beautiful noses built by Dr. Donald Yoo and Dr. Cho Bae-Jung. Pointed out on www. https://www.rhinoplastykorea.com/ all of his patients’ under-projected tips and monkey-mouths. He said he understood what I was trying to say.
7 days after the surgery my cast was removed, in his office I immediately noticed severe contour irregularity along my dorsal line --- a dent right below my nosal bone, and then a sudden bump afterwards, and then a dip right after the bump.
Again he did not lay enough graft along my dorsal line to give me more projection.
He put a very uncomfortable premaxillary graft with diced rib cartilage behind my upper lip --- I later figured out why he did that. This is because he would never put in a long enough septal/columella integration graft. Also, it is because is severely lengthen my nose! Because of this prmaxillary graft, my upper lip side view became unnaturally S-shaped. Also, it was very uncomfortable. So I had no choice but to push out his diced cartilage premaxillary graft with my finger--- at least this makes my upper lip look natural and feel comfortable.
He again, gave me monkey-like retruded upper lip.
Dr. Cho Bae-Jung said my nose does not need any premaxillary graft at all! Why, because Dr. Cho Bae Jung gives proper amount of projection.
Now 5 months after the surgery, It is obvious that he gave me another "bent" (hooked) nose with no tip projection. Obviously there's no supratip break. Tip is droopy. severe irregularity along the dorsum.
He lengthened my nose more than necessary. Why? Because unlike Dr. Toriumi, he does not examine you before surgery where your upper lip is when you smile. He does not take a picture of yours smile. So now, my upper lip doesn’t show my full teeth when I smile, because he put a thick causal septal extension graft under my anterior nasal spine --- too much! He lowered my upper lip by 6mm! Before the surgery, when he draw the diagram to show me the caudal septal extension/columella integration graft, his diagram showed that it would end right before my anterior nasal spine. Now I realized he stuck a huge piece past below my anterior nasal spine. No wonder I cannot smile properly. Not only that, I have difficulty pronouncing words. My speed pattern is changed. The reason is simple, if I cannot raise my upper lip properly, how can I pronounce words properly?
He again gave me ugly rounded nostrils with a short columella. That is what he likes aestheticaslly! My upper lip is again retruded. This is simply because this moron ENT put in a short Septal Extension Graft/Columella Strut and also he lengthen my nose way too much without giving additional projection. We discussed about having a very aggressive Septal Extension Graft/Columella Strut on more than 40 occasions (email and in person) in the previous 12 months. When it came to surgery, he had the audacity to do the opposite. I again have a sudden drop as my figure rolls along my dorsum close to the tip. He promised me before the surgery that there would be no drop. His septal extension graft/columella strut is a joke! Decide for yourself on https://www.rhinoplastykorea.com and see how ugly his patients' side views are. His patients' noses have no tip at all. All of them have monkey mouths.
When I asked him why he would again give me a short septal extension/columella integration strut graft 10 days after the surgery, he said he wouldn't know how to close the wound with suture if he gave me more projection and a longer columella! How come Dr. Cho Bae Jung doesn’t have a problem closing a wound like this?
I used Photoshop to analyze my original nose compared to my nose after this surgery. This doctor did not even restore the original projection of my nose! My nose line basic points down toward the floor. Because that’s what he likes aesthetically. He likes flat faces.
With the shape he gave to my nose (not like the morphed photo I showed him), he told me again after I woke up from the surgery: “the surgery went well.”
Go visit him and decide for yourself if this guy is just an ENT or a plastic surgeon. Go see his office set-up. He has a mirror to talk about your nose with. Nothing else. He does not do morphing. Does not point out on his computer screen photos of your nose while discussing exactly the shape you want. He does not draw. Why? Because in his mind, he already has decided the kind of nose he wants to give you --- with the features I mentioned in the beginning.
He does not tell you that after rhinoplasty, you should keep your sutured spots (columella and chest) moist with silicon-based anti-scare cream so there won’t be scars. He does not tell you that you should bring sunscreen to Korea and avoid the sun. My face skin completely peeled after the first rhinoplasty. I then got dark sun spots around my eyes entirely within 2 weeks after the surgery after the first surgery. My dermatologist in US later this year has to use chemicals to peel my skin. And it costs $150 for each procedure. Jin Hong Ryul is not a plastic surgeon! Rhinoplasty surgeons will tell you such things in the instructions because they take a total esthetics approach.
He took out 2 ribs from me in my chest and left 2 scars. My nose will be redone again next year by another doctor. There will be another rib taken out with another scar!
Be careful of this ENT. I bet you a million dollars he does not own an SLR camera, and he never painted a painting or did a sculpture before. Even if you give him morphed photos, photoshoped photos and instructions he will give you something different --- why? Because he hates projection. A normal nose tip position is a pinocchio nose to him!! He has no aesthetics.
He will NOT say to you: “I do not give supratip break. My noses don’t have tips like other doctors. There will be contour irregularly.” He would let you find out after the surgery! And remember, he will suture you up even if things are not right!
Do NOT go to him and beg for a long septal extension graft and project. I begged and begged with tears before surgery for over 40 times. Hahahaha.
He is definitely a moron and should never be a plastic surgeon! Even the person who recommended me thinks that he is not an artist and that his patients’ noses side profiles suck!
His Columella Strut/Septal Extension Integration Graft strut resulted in an underprojected tip without supratip break --- that is how short his graft is. That is why his noses are all ugly! And that is why my tip started to retract/drop right after the onlay graft ended and there is no supratip break. He likes noses with no projected tip. Take a look on https://www.rhinoplastykorea.com/. His noses have a less than 30 degree line pointing downward because he loves flat faces. The morphed photo I should him clearly showed a 40 degree projection. He gave me 29 degrees.
Doctor Torimui refused to do the revision surgery for me because Jin Hong Ryul did the surgery for me the first time. Dr. Torimui said he would probably put a SEG on the side of my existing septum. Dr. Toriumi wrote this excellent article to explain the different between a short nose and an over rotated nose. https://www.facialplasticsurgerymia...9/06/correction-of-the-overshortened-nose.pdf . I had an overrated nose instead of a short nose. In this second surgery, Dr. Jin lengthened my central compartment and changed the baseline of my nose without asking where my original smile line was or analyzing my upper lip height. That is why I ended up with a 6mm lowered upper lip! Over-lengthening noses without giving more projection results in smile problems and retruded monkey-like upper lip. My nasal length-to-tip projection ratio should be close to 0.67 according to my morphed photo. He significantly lengthened my nose without giving me additional tip projection. This resulted in my length-to-tip projection ratio to be only 0.5! He is a total moron lacking aesthetic eyes. He really likes underprojected tips and flat faces.
I will have another surgery next year and will have 3 scares on my chest because of him. He charged me over $19000.
