Open Rhinoplasty Review: Queen’s 1-Year Transformation with Rib Cartilage

Sometimes changing your hairstyle gets you noticed, or maybe your makeup gets compliments. But for me, Queen, the one thing that keeps people complimenting me non-stop is just my “nose”! Even though I haven’t done anything to the rest of my face, after getting an Open Rhinoplasty using rib and ear cartilage, almost a year has passed, and my friends still unanimously tell me, “Your face looks so much sweeter” and “You look noticeably softer.” It makes me smile secretly every time I compare old photos to my current face.

From a crooked nose and stern face… to a sweet, soft look that is more ‘me’

Before deciding to get a rhinoplasty revision, my main problems were a crooked nasal bridge and a stiff, blunt shape. This made my overall face look quite stern and lacking in softness. No matter how much I tried to use makeup or shading to contour the bridge, I still felt that my front profile and side profile were unbalanced. Taking photos was especially difficult because I constantly had to find the right angle. It reached a point where I felt that if I could fix my nose, my overall facial appearance would change for the better.

I had reference photos in mind… but the doctor designed it to truly fit my face

Therefore, the doctor helped adjust many details to suit my original bone structure, including the bridge alignment, length, nasal tip, and angles that complement my face. The result isn’t just a higher nose, but a very natural-looking one that noticeably makes my overall face look softer and sweeter.

Why did Queen choose The SiB Plastic Surgery?

It actually started with a friend. My friend previously had breast augmentation at The SiB Plastic Surgery and recommended that I come in for a consultation. After that, I started looking into more reviews. The more I looked, the more I felt that the results of each case here looked very natural—not just a one-size-fits-all shape for everyone.

Once I came in and talked to Dr. Darin Muangthai, a Specialized Plastic Surgeon (Medical License 27751), I felt incredibly confident. After the consultation, I felt great and had so much trust in the doctor that I decided to book the surgery right then and there!

Almost 1 year later… I love it more and feel more confident

Something many people fear when getting a nose job is whether the nose will change over time or if there will be any problems later on. For me, almost a year has passed, and I can say that “Everything is perfectly normal.” My nose has settled beautifully, the shape is soft, and I feel confident taking photos from any angle.

Most importantly, my friends still won’t stop complimenting me on how much sweeter and prettier my face looks. Even though I only changed one point on my face, it has genuinely made my overall personality appear softer and much more charming.

Impressed from the very first day… until today

Besides the highly satisfying results, something I always want to mention is the care from the team here. From the very first day I came in for a consultation, to the surgery day, and throughout the post-op follow-ups, the staff at the clinic took incredibly good care of me. As for the doctor, she always gave very detailed advice on what to do and what not to do. This made me feel confident and reassured throughout every stage of my recovery.

Because a beautiful nose isn’t just about being high, it must fit the face

I think The SiB Plastic Surgery is the perfect answer, because every case of Open Rhinoplasty using rib and ear cartilage and Open Rhinoplasty Revision is under the direct care of Dr. Darin. The doctor places great importance on analyzing the original nasal structure, facial proportions, and our personal preferences to design a nose shape that suits our face best.

The goal isn’t to use the same nose block to make everyone look identical. Rather, it’s to create results that look natural, solve problems at their root, and make the face look much more balanced in the long run.
