Even before surgery I already had a masculine image, in a bad way. I had both a prominent hump and a bulbous nose, and my alar base was wide, so from the front my impression felt messy haha... The things I asked the doctor for were: - I don’t want a nose that is too slim and sharp like a woman’s - I want the nose length increased - I want the hump cleaned up neatly and I don’t want any step-off Was I being too picky...? Still, I can confidently say I was thorough because I went to five consultations before deciding. First hospital) They said my skin was on the thick side and recommended autologous costal cartilage. It was a place famous for flashy lines, but they suggested a height that felt too much even for a man like me. It also felt like my needs were not being reflected. Second hospital) The wait was long and it had that so-called factory vibe, so I wondered if I had booked it for nothing, but I liked the consultation with the doctor so much that it was one of the places I kept debating until the end. But when I asked how many surgeries they do in a day, it was kind of insane. It was a place with good reviews and lots of people, but I gave it up because I felt that if something went wrong, they might not be able to care for me properly. Third hospital) There were consultation fees, CT fees, anesthesia fees too (they all have them, but this place was expensive), and the surgery cost was also on the high side. For a first surgery, they quoted me in the 8 million won range because there would be a lot to do... They seemed to promote themselves as a one-doctor private place, and overall everything was good, but there was no helping that the cost was burdensome. Fourth hospital) This was also one of the places I debated among the hospitals I ultimately chose from. The doctor explained things in great detail using a skull model and even drew pictures, which I liked. But as an ordinary person, it was a bit hard to understand... I kept saying, ah yes, yes, pretending to understand, but after the consultation I thought I should have asked about the things I didn’t know. Hospital I had surgery at) It wasn’t that it was exceptionally good, but the things I found lacking at the previous places were all compensated for. Isn’t the reason footwork is hard that the options are all pretty similar, so you have to choose the place that looks best among them? Still, it was also a place where each of the things I felt were lacking had been compensated for, and I liked both the doctor’s and manager’s consultations, so I chose it. I’m satisfied with the result, which is why I’m writing this review. For the nose tip material, they used septum plus donated rib cartilage, and the implant was Moriet, which they said is as low-risk for side effects as possible, so I used that. I thought all silicone was the same, but apparently not. Just the estimate I remember includes bulbous tip, hump, nasolabial angle correction, alar reduction, and shaving the bone next to the bridge. I think the key points were the alar reduction and shaving the bone next to the bridge. It came out just as I wanted, not too overdone, while keeping the masculine look, so I’m satisfied.
