Hi everyone,

I’m currently researching rhinoplasty and I’m trying to decide between a silicone implant for the bridge vs using my own rib cartilage/autologous tissue.

I would really appreciate hearing real long-term experiences from people who have had either one done.

For people with silicone implants:

Do you feel any foreign body sensation or tightness?

Does it still feel comfortable after several years?

Have you experienced issues like thinning skin, shifting, contracture, or inflammation?

For people who used their own cartilage (especially rib cartilage):

Does it feel more natural?

Has the shape held up well over time?

Did you need revision surgery later?

I’m also curious which option tends to age better long term and which gives the most natural look and feel over the years.
Would love honest experiences, including both positive and negative outcomes.
Thank you 🙏

I’m currently researching clinics and would appreciate hearing both good and bad experiences.

Hi everyone,

I recently found a clinic called Banana Plastic Surgery (바나나성형외과) in Korea and I’m interested in their rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty results.

Has anyone here personally had surgery there?
Especially:

rhinoplasty (nose surgery)

double eyelid surgery / blepharoplasty

ptosis correction

I would really appreciate honest experiences about:

results

swelling and recovery

communication with foreign patients

whether the doctors are natural-looking or more dramatic

safety and aftercare

If you do NOT recommend this clinic, could you please suggest a good clinic in Korea for natural rhinoplasty and eye surgery?

Thank you so much 🙏
