Restoring Clarity to the Eyes and Harmony with a First Rhinoplasty | VIBE Plastic Surgery Gangnam: Revision Eye Surgery & First Rhinoplasty Case 💜

Hello! This is VIBE Plastic Surgery :)

The weather has gotten quite cold lately.

We hope everyone is taking good care of their health❄️☃️

Thankfully, VIBE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam continues to receive a steady stream of consultation inquiries.

👀 In particular, we see many patients who have already experienced one eye surgery,

👃🏻 or those who are considering rhinoplasty for the first time and are being very cautious.

Today, we want to share a vivid story of a patient who was highly satisfied with their revision eye surgery and first rhinoplasty :)

VIBE PICK | Revision Eye Surgery & First Rhinoplasty Case✨

Let’s take a look together 👀

VIBE PICK Revision Eye Surgery · First Rhinoplasty Case

🌸 Our protagonist for this case had a calm and sophisticated impression from the very first meeting, with a neat and tidy image✨

While they had a generally soft atmosphere, a closer look revealed that they had undergone one previous eye surgery.

They were considering revision surgery due to concerns like asymmetry and a hooded (covered) eyelid line.

For the nose, they were troubled by a hump causing an uneven bridge, a slight deviation, and a drooping tip that gave a somewhat stifled impression.

Additionally, a lack of volume in the forehead made their profile look a bit flat 🥲

☑️ A sharper impression by improving the drooping nose tip

☑️ A smooth nose line with the hump and irregularities corrected

Let’s begin the real story from VIBE Plastic Surgery Gangnam!💫💜

1. Pre-surgery Concerns | Hooded Eyes, Asymmetric Eyelids, Deviated Nose

Before Surgery

👔 Although they had a generally neat and 🌿 clean image,

certain areas were lacking, which made their overall impression feel somewhat buried.

📌 Before (Pre-surgery)

1. Previous experience with Hiko (PDO thread) nose lift

2. Dissatisfaction with the eyelid line and left-right asymmetry after previous eye surgery

3. Breathing discomfort due to rhinitis

4. Long, drooping nose tip

5. Face appearing overall long

.

.

They had previously undergone a Hiko procedure, but as time passed, it lost its natural look, and they were also suffering from functional discomfort due to a deviated nose.

Despite having had eye surgery before, their satisfaction was low due to asymmetry and a line that appeared hooded.

2. Surgical Direction | Key Points for Revision Eye Surgery & First Rhinoplasty

⚠️ Accurate diagnosis of rhinitis and the degree of deviation after CT scanning

➡️ Functional Rhinoplasty

⚠️ Compensating for the facial proportion that makes the face look long

➡️ Forehead Fat Grafting

⚠️ Re-correcting asymmetric eyes and hooded double eyelid lines

➡️ Natural Adhesion Revision Double Eyelid Surgery

At VIBE Plastic Surgery Gangnam, we use CT scans to check the degree of deviation along with rhinitis. We then proceed with deviated nose correction, considering both functional improvement and aesthetic line correction.

Furthermore, since the patient had a relatively long face shape, performing only rhinoplasty could emphasize that length. Therefore, we combined it with forehead fat grafting.

For the eyes, we opted for the natural adhesion method to achieve a natural change rather than an over-correction.

3. Surgical Materials & Special Notes

✨ Use of Autologous Rib Cartilage

→ Autologous rib cartilage is usually harvested from the 6th or 7th rib. Pain at the harvest site is mild, lasting about 2–3 days, and recovery is possible after about a week.

✨ Removal of Existing Hiko Threads

→ During surgery, threads from the previous Hiko procedure were discovered and safely removed before proceeding.

✨ Septal Reconstruction

→ Since the septum was severely deviated, we used autologous rib cartilage to reconstruct a new septum, ensuring functional stability.

4. Post-surgery Changes | Overall Transformation of Impression💫

4 Months and 9 Months Post-surgery

VIBE PICK protagonist at VIBE Plastic Surgery Gangnam

After the surgery, the patient maintained their original neat and clean image while 🌿 naturally supplementing the areas that were lacking.

Rather than a look that changed excessively, the overall harmony was enhanced, resulting in a much more balanced and defined impression!

.

📌 After (Post-surgery)

👉 The hooded eyes were refined into a clear double eyelid line, improving left-right symmetry.

👉 The nose was smoothed into a soft and sophisticated line from every angle, making the overall impression sharper.

👉 Volume was added to the forehead, naturally compensating for the face shape that previously looked long.

📢 Patient’s Reaction 📢

‘All the complexes I mentioned earlier have been resolved, and I’ve been getting so many compliments from people around me saying I look beautiful. I really feel like I chose the right hospital. Compared to before the surgery, my confidence has completely changed!’

5. This case is a great reference for those who:

💫 Suffer from both functional discomfort (rhinitis/deviated nose) and aesthetic concerns.

💫 Need revision surgery or thread removal due to a past Hiko procedure.

💫 Want to improve overall facial proportions because their face looks long.

💫 Are considering re-correction due to asymmetry or hooded lines after a previous eye surgery.

💫 Desire natural improvement that preserves their existing image rather than an extreme change.

‘Natural improvement that makes your charm even clearer.’

VIBE Plastic Surgery Gangnam does not focus solely on visible changes. We aim for surgery that respects each individual’s face shape and existing image while considering both functional stability and natural harmony 💜
