This is my first surgery and I have a hawk nose, but my bridge is already somewhat prominent, so I wanted to only do the tip naturally. Yesterday I went around to four clinics for consultations all day, and it was really hard to choose. I'll write down my thoughts. Everyone, please give me clinic recommendations or tell me what won't work. 1. [Clinic A] CT: yes, consultation fee: 0 Septal cartilage + ear cartilage + donated rib cartilage Personally, the consultation was the best The coordinator and director were both thorough and kind They didn't push me to book at all and instead told me to decide carefully Still, they seemed to want a result that would look operated on, and they picked up on that preference and listened seriously to what I said, which built trust They also explained the surgery process very kindly But what bothered me was that instead of speaking clearly like, 'this might be possible, and then we would do it this way,' they spoke more vaguely For a first surgery, having to use donated rib cartilage too was another point I had to think about 2. [Clinic B] CT: yes, consultation fee: 10,000 won Septal cartilage + ear cartilage + donated rib cartilage if needed (low likelihood) Lateral osteotomy, alar base lowering, correction for hawk nose and long nose The rest are all private clinics, but not this one! There were a lot of people, but almost no waiting, and the consultation was good However, the coordinator did push bookings a bit, and the pricing discounts felt a little salesy and not great The director spoke calmly and thoroughly. They showed me with Photoshop how they would make the shape, which made me feel much more comfortable This place offered the most things they would do. I was worried that if the nose were lifted, the nostrils would show, but they said right away that they would correct that by lowering the alar base What felt different from the other clinics was that it seemed like there is a predetermined pretty nose and they would make my nose by doing all these things to it?? It gave me the feeling that all the noses would come out the same?? Maybe because I went to private clinics elsewhere, this one definitely felt like a 'plastic surgery clinic' On the plus side, they offer a lot of services Oh, and I was unexpectedly recommended double-eyelid surgery. But it seemed reasonable, so I'm thinking about it Conclusion: I probably won't go here, but it was the only place that said it could hide my nostrils, so that's a bit disappointing 3. [Clinic C] CT: no, consultation fee: 10,000 won Septal cartilage + ear cartilage Tip refinement + lateral osteotomy if needed At the beginning, they asked me to show the nose height I wanted But they said that would be too high and showed me what they would do, and it was so little that I thought, 'Would this even show?' Even though I was aiming for something natural, I guess I also had a hidden wish that if I'm spending money, it should make me prettier If you only want natural improvement, this might be the best place The director seemed very firm and had principles, and he was not rude at all At a previous clinic I was unexpectedly told about double-eyelid surgery, so when I asked here, he said it depends on the aesthetic goal, but if I did it, he wouldn't stop me (He is currently only doing nose surgery, and he answered all my questions kindly) For a crooked nose, they said because the face is asymmetrical overall, there is no need to make a big correction; they would adjust it to some extent They recommended lateral osteotomy here, but said if I just want to improve the problem points, I don't have to do it. They said I can keep thinking about it until the surgery Their biggest advantage is that they do not pack the nose with gauze! My worry is that it might not look changed enough 4. [Clinic D] CT: no, consultation fee: 20,000 won Septal cartilage + ear cartilage It really felt like meeting a university professor Rather than explaining first, he briefly gave a blog-style intro and a short lecture on pretty noses At the start, he set the shape and took photos, and it was higher than I expected, so when I asked, 'Isn't this too high?' he replied in a way that felt like, 'That's for you to judge, and if we need to shave this and do it like this, there's no choice,' which made me uncomfortable a bit I felt like he was saying he couldn't adjust it to my own nose! He said not to do lateral osteotomy. That's for when the face is narrow and the nose looks wide; yours is actually narrow compared to your face I couldn't fully understand, but here they said they would not really build a support column and instead would add tissue to make the nose softer And they would cut the depressor muscle The surgical method was different from the three above Given the things about the nose becoming soft and his confidence, it seems safer to do it here, but I paused because it felt like they didn't respect my opinion, and because of the rumor that they like a half-upturned nose and the nose they set felt high But this place also seems to have no aesthetic sense, because there are way too few reviews T_T I went to four places, and each one had one or two things that bothered me, so I'm conflicted T_T Everyone, please take a look and add your thoughts. Which place seems best?
