- My nose as I and people around me see it: Bulbous nose, round and plump nasal tip, nasal bridge present, no hump, I liked that the side-profile curve of my nose connected naturally
- Nose I want: I do not want to raise the nasal bridge height (silicone); I would like the nasal tip area (nasal alae) to be improved so it looks slimmer from the front
It has been quite a while since I had these nose consultations, so my memory is a little hazy, but I will write it out. For rhinoplasty, I went without looking into the surgical methods in detail, so it was confusingㅠ
1. ㄱㄹㅂ Large hospital Consultation with manager -> consultation with doctor I visited after seeing reviews saying the aftercare/AS period was long (I think it was about 5? 7? years) Chose CT scan, 10,000 won scan fee O Consultation was done while looking at the CT scan images They told me I did not have rhinitis, mentioned facial asymmetry, I said I was not considering silicone as a material because of side effects, but they kept saying that unlike in the past, silicone as a material is safe and kept trying to persuade me, asking why I had no intention of putting in silicone, so it was awkward According to the doctor, people who get side effects from silicone are extremely rare and he spoke as if it was safe, but I did not feel at ease (What if that person ends up being meㅜㅜ) They said my nasal skin is on the thicker side and does not stretch easily If I wanted a dramatic effect, I think they suggested a thin 1 mm silicone implant for the nasal bridge + using the septum + ear cartilage support + removing nasal fat The cost was quoted as 2.2 million won if I uploaded photos on Babitalk
They said the effect would not be great and it would not come out in the shape I wanted, but if I wanted to do it without silicone, we should only do nasal tip surgery The cost was quoted at around 1.8 million won
I am introverted, so I think the manager being very proactive felt a little burdensome, and it also felt burdensome that she kept watching to see whether I was thinking about surgery.ㅜㅜㅜ
2. ㅅㅇㅋ CT scan x Consultation with manager -> consultation with director I remember the manager being really rude and unpleasant..ㅎ It bothered me that before the director consultation, the manager briefly explained the surgical method and pushed what she thought I should get done My nostril size is appropriate, so I was not thinking about alar reduction, but she said, "You absolutely need alar reduction, though?" and that was the first thing that made me uncomfortable
Director consultation He had just come back from surgery and touched my nose while his hands smelled like medicine? chemicals He looked tired He said alar reduction was not really necessary, and that just tying the nasal tip cartilage would show a decent effect, but honestly I wondered whether that alone would improve the frontal effect I asked the director several times whether just tying the nasal tip cartilage would be effective, and the manager said I was only looking for the answer I wantedㅋ.....
A friend who had surgery here had nasal tip surgery, and when I went with them, they said that with a referral, if I paid the deposit within 3 hours, they would do cartilage tying for 1.8 million won
The deposit pressure was intense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Before I went home, they pressured me like, "Aren't you paying the deposit? You don't even have money for the deposit? You really don't even have n ten-thousand won? Why aren't you transferring the deposit?" so I was seriously dumbfoundedㅎ...
And after I left and did not transfer the deposit, the manager contacted me on KakaoTalkㅋ... I did not feel certain about my nose, so I only visited clinics and did not get surgery.
