Please read my "1 Year Post my revision surgery with Dr. Yoo" first before you read this one. It was actually "two years post my recovery" post. I can't edit the title for some reason. One important thing that I need to add :
I still can see a tiny bit graft (the size of tiny brown spot) from outside tip skin! I went to see Dr. Yoo for this and he said " it is normal to see a little bit graft". Ok, I didn't know this may happen during consultation . PLEASE BE AWARE THIS MAY HAPPEN TO YOU. It doesn't bother me anymore. It's there, but not very visible. Just never mention to anybody! I really don't want a third nose tip revision surgery.
I sincerely hope my nose just stay like this for the rest of my life. No more nose surgery!

1 Year Post my revision surgery with Dr. Yoo
TreeyourselfNovember 14, 2018
It's one year post my revision surgery with Dr. Yoo. I am fully recovered. If you read my previous note, and you know I did one first and revision with the same doctor. And I paid extra for the revision fee. Let's talk about the things I didn't like after recovery:
1. My nose tip looks a little bit long in some angles, especially when I smile. If you are someone who doesn't have a nose tip or weak nose tip before , please take this into consideration. After surgery, your nose tip will likely to look longer before. It does bother me for some time, like 7 months, but now I am ok to live with my not "so perfect" nose tip.
2. When I touch my tip, it feels like a rock. I can't do piggy nose anymore. I wish someone tell me this information before I do the rib cartilage surgery.
3. Just keep in mind, there may be a need for revision surgery. Be prepared to allocate some extra money (I paid $4500 for his revision surgery).
4. Recovery time is long. It takes me almost one full year to see the full result of my tip.
Overall, I don't regret my surgery with Dr. Yoo. I really love the height of my bridge. It has been for three years. So natural and beautiful! ( the revision surgery is only the tip part! ) Although my nose is not 100% of what I expected, but I am ok to live with it. I do look prettier, (30%- 40% overall appearance improvement for me).
Hope this informations helps.

It has been 8 months since my second surgery with Dr. Yoo. My bridge looks perfect, and my tip is healing well. I hope in the next few months, my tip will continue to heal. I will update photos in another 6 months.

How is your rib now? Any pain or discomfort on your chest? Does it feel exactly the same as before the surgery?
How is the scar on the chest?
I’m considering rib rhinoplasty but very concern about my rib and feel post op long term.
Thanks
