Went to two places, ㄷㅇㅇ and ㅍㄻㅇ
1. ㄷㅇㅇ Plastic Surgery Clinic (Director ㄱㅎㅈ) Consultation fee: x Consultation details: They said they would use only a 3 mm nasal bridge implant + septal cartilage and ear cartilage for the columella It was a large clinic, but the doctor was in surgery, so the wait time was very long. Other clinics all recommended rib cartilage, but only here they said septal cartilage alone could be used! They said they would only do a basic nose procedure, so they quoted a much lower price than expected On the condition of taking a 100,000 won deposit, they extended the same-day booking offer until tomorrow +Later, the manager contacted me and added to the price because nose length/alar base were not included I liked the review photos too, and this was the place that recommended the least surgery Since I’ll be visiting more clinics going forward, I was going to keep the CT images, And both the doctor and manager said I could take the CT images on a USB, But when I actually went to the desk that prints documents, they said they absolutely couldn’t print them because I didn’t have a receipt The consultation was free, so how am I supposed to get a receipt?
2. ㅍㄻㅇ Plastic Surgery Clinic (Director ㅊㅎㅅ) Consultation fee: 10,000 won Consultation details: The doctor here only does noses, and after searching a community yesterday, this was a place I had almost put on my candidate list 3 mm nasal bridge implant + septal cartilage for the columella + donated rib cartilage + dorsal hump shaving They said this doctor generally recommends using rib cartilage. This was the first place that told me my dorsal hump needed to be shaved, But at a previous consultation, there was also a place that firmly said I didn’t have a dorsal hump The opinions are completely different, so I still can’t judge whether it’s really necessary Still, the doctor explained the surgical plan and why rib cartilage is needed in detail, so I’m leaning toward using rib cartilage for my first surgery The price was quite high, so I asked if it was because there were many procedures, And the manager said the surgery price was fixed, as if it were the regular price Here, they told me right before the CT scan that saving the CT images would simply be difficult Thinking that I’ll have to get CT scans several more times in the future, I didn’t feel good about it
+Adding one place I visited the next day 3. ㄷㄷㅇ Plastic Surgery Clinic (Director ㅊㅅㅊ) Consultation fee: x Consultation details: 3 mm nasal bridge implant + septal cartilage for the columella (alternative 2: ear cartilage, alternative 3: donated rib cartilage) + dorsal hump + soft-tissue reduction When I asked the doctor about nose materials, he said that if a clinic says they will use that material no matter what, it is a problematic plastic surgery clinic He said the amount of septal cartilage looks sufficient, so they would proceed with septal cartilage first, but if it turns out to be weak or if variables arise after opening it up, they would use rib cartilage right away He also said it would be good to shave the dorsal hump, and he explained well the difference between shaving it and not shaving it
