WORTH IT
Genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon or a better overall experience. I’ve wanted a rhinoplasty my whole life. I had a flat, wide, bulbous nose with a hump and a downward slope. I’m extremely picky and tend to change my mind as I refine what I want, so choosing the right surgeon was really important to me.
I had very specific goals for the overall look I was hoping to achieve — a slightly upturned slope without looking too augmented, a very subtle increase in bridge height, a tip that’s sharper at the top but softly rounded at the bottom, and an overall balance that shortened the appearance of my midface without looking piggy. I also cared a lot about how everything would look from the front, especially the nostril-to-bridge relationship. It’s honestly a lot to balance. Dr. Kwon was very clear about what was actually possible with my nose structure and walked me through the pros and cons of different approaches and how they would visually affect my entire face as a whole, which I really appreciated. Looking at my nose now, I can see how carefully he took every detail we discussed into account.
Going into surgery, I was super nervous because I had never been put under before and fully thought I would panic. But once I got there, the nurse and anesthesiologist were genuinely so kind and calming that I was shocked by how at ease I felt. It made a huge difference, and I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Kwon also met with me beforehand to go over everything again and walk through the plan which really helped calm my nerves.
Recovery — especially swelling and having patience — was the hardest part. I looked like an avatar for longer than I expected. From my table photos to even around 3 months post op, I still had noticeable swelling at the radix. It really did go down a lot over time and after Dr. Kwon gave me a few Kenalog shots!
Even now at 7 months post-op, I still fluctuate from time to time with swelling, especially during my period, but it has definitely stabilized a lot. I’m genuinely so happy with my result and how it has balanced out the rest of my facial features!
I also want to shout out Lilit, Dr. Kwon’s patient care coordinator — she is seriously the sweetest. She answered all my questions by text or call and made the whole experience feel much easier.
Overall, I feel incredibly happy with my decision to go with Dr. Kwon. I felt very supported throughout every stage and am truly impressed by his attention to detail and artistry. Thank you, Dr. Kwon!!!
