My needs - a striking nasal bridge, a rounded nasal tip, and definite improvement of a bulbous nose not only from the side but also from the front.
1) ㅂㄴㄴ Had a CT scan. Waited 10 minutes. Hump reduction + 4 mm silicone + septal cartilage + bulbous nose correction + nasolabial angle correction Cost was in the 4 million won range. They said that to improve a bulbous nose, designing the nose in a striking style according to my needs would be the most definite approach. The director seemed very confident about bulbous nose surgery. He spoke a bit quickly, but it was understandable. He explained while drawing the surgical design over photos taken of my nose. They said that if septal cartilage is insufficient, functional rib cartilage would be used. They provide sebum care as part of aftercare.
2) ㅍㄹㅁㅇ Had a CT scan. You should expect a basic wait of at least 1 hour. Hump reduction + 4 mm silicone (3.5 mm is ideal) + autologous costal cartilage + bulbous nose correction + alar reduction Cost was in the 6 million won range. Because it is a bulbous nose, they said they cannot make it very striking. I could choose between donated rib cartilage and autologous costal cartilage, but they recommended autologous costal cartilage. The consultation with the director only lasted a few minutes. The consultant encouraged making a reservation. I liked that they clearly told me what was possible and what was not.
3) ㅁㅎ Had a CT scan. Waited 30 minutes. Maybe because I had been to the previous clinic, this felt acceptable. Hump osteotomy + 4 mm silicone + donated rib cartilage + bulbous nose correction + functional rhinoplasty Cost was in the low 5 million won range. They said it was not severe, but one nostril’s airway was a bit blocked, so they recommended doing functional rhinoplasty as well. They use customized 3D silicone. I was not considering functional rhinoplasty, so I was going to take it out, but during the consultation with the consultant, they kept selling me on functional rhinoplasty, so I received the cost including it. When I asked what would happen if I could not get reimbursed, they said that would absolutely not happen.
The first clinic said they would refund 100% of the deposit, so I paid it and left. I worried a lot, thinking, what if I like another clinic more? It would be awkward to say anything for no reason, but fortunately, for now, I like the first clinic the most.
I have consultations booked next month at two more places, ㄱㄴ and ㅍㄹㅇㅂ, so I plan to visit all of them and then decide on a clinic.
