It was for rhinitis plus revision nose surgery, and I went for a consultation on a friend's recommendation. I was surprised that there was only one director despite the size of the hospital. They recommended autologous costal cartilage plus silicone replacement, and we decided on extending the nose length, lowering the bridge, general anesthesia, and a natural look. I had already consulted at a few other hospitals, and they accurately explained the points that other hospitals had identified as problems, along with the design and surgical method I wanted. The price was a little high for revision surgery, but after applying insurance reimbursement, my out-of-pocket cost was similar to other hospitals. I recommend looking into the autologous costal cartilage method before surgery.
That said, compared with other directors who speak with certainty, this one felt more cautious when speaking, so that part may actually feel less certain to you. There is no procedure to remove scars from the chest after autologous costal cartilage harvest. Instead, I went to hyperbaric oxygen therapy whenever I had time, and I also received swelling laser treatment. There was almost no swelling and no bruising at all.
The coordinator tended to rush a bit when setting the surgery date during the consultation.
