This was my first surgery, and I had severe rhinitis, so I went to consultations at several places. What I wanted first and foremost was improvement in my rhinitis, and on the aesthetic side I wanted improvement of the hump and bulbous tip. Rather than a flashy surgery that uses implants, I wanted a natural-looking line, and I hoped it would not look very obviously like I had surgery.
1. Dㅇㅇ Plastic Surgery This was my first time even visiting a plastic surgery clinic, so I went without properly researching the surgeon. I chose it because it had the most reviews and was the most famous. When I told the male coordinator there what style I wanted, he recommended Dr. Gㅇㅈ, an otolaryngology specialist, and I had a consultation with him. The consultation ended quickly and concisely, and I was quoted 1.8 to 2.0 million KRW for rhinitis surgery and 1.8 million KRW for the aesthetic corrections: hump reduction + bulbous tip correction + nasal bone osteotomy + nasal tip work (other-person rib cartilage, septal cartilage). They did not ask for a separate partial-model arrangement or app promotion, so there was no discounted price.
2. Chdch Clinic I wanted to try a private clinic rather than a large hospital, so I started looking through clinics on GNAN that were marked as having excellent customer evaluations. That is how I ended up at this clinic. They were fully booked, so I waited a few days, and when I went, the surgeon gave me a careful consultation. He explained why my nose was not letting me breathe properly and mentioned the septum and inferior turbinates. I trusted it because it felt more thorough than a large hospital. The cost estimate was 2.0 million KRW for the rhinitis surgery, and 3.8 million KRW for the aesthetic hump + bulbous tip + nasal tip work (septal cartilage + autologous cartilage). They originally quoted 4.5 million KRW for the aesthetic portion alone, but said the figure I received was the maximum discount.
