I went around today for consultations at 2 places in Apgujeong and 1 place in Sinsa. Please take a look! Warning: very long post
1. ㄱㄹㅂ - Before the consultation, nasal CT scan was optional (scan fee 10,000 won). I didn’t do the scan and only had the consultation. - Same-day booking discount available, but no pressure. I was quoted the review-writing discount price, total 8.4 million won
Revision eyelid surgery, Director ㅂㅈㅊ - Price: incision (270) + epicanthoplasty (80), total 350 - Recommended doing only a slight epicanthoplasty, and did not recommend lateral canthoplasty because there is no space. - Ptosis correction would be fine, but it also doesn’t matter if I don’t do it. - Did not separately draw/set an eyelid line for me. - A/S period: 3 years
Nose, Director ㄴㅂㅇ - Nasal tip, nasal bridge, dorsal hump refinement (370) - Seemed very busy - A/S period: 10 years - Materials used: septal cartilage, ear cartilage, silicone - Since the silicone is a custom implant, I need to visit one week before surgery to take a CT and facial photos. My nasal bridge is low, so 5-6 mm silicone would be used - Since I have a small nose, the septal cartilage may be small and weak, so costal cartilage may possibly be used - I’m thinking there is merit because it is a custom implant
Forehead fat grafting, Director ㄴㅅㅈ - Price including second session: 120
2. ㅈㅅㅌ - Same-day booking discount available, no pressure. I was quoted the review-writing discount price. - Total price: 8.47 million won
Nose and forehead, Chief Director ㅊㅎㄱ - Because he is the chief director, there is a 10,000 won consultation fee - Nasal bridge + nasal tip + hump + columella lengthening, total 3.85 million won - Forehead fat grafting: 1.1 million won - Explained while measuring my eye length and angle (also consulted on my eyes together) - Incision, ptosis correction (doing it would make the eyes clearer), epicanthoplasty, lateral + lower canthoplasty (not a huge effect, but better to do it) - Silicone for the nasal bridge, ear cartilage for the nasal tip - A/S period: 1 year - There was too much additional explanation, so I felt a bit disappointed because it didn’t seem like the definite points were communicated clearly.
Revision eyelid surgery, Director ㄱㄱㄹ - Event price: incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction 1.98 million + epicanthoplasty 550,000 + dual canthoplasty 990,000, total 3.92 million - Proceeding based on Director ㅊㅎㄱ’s consultation - I liked the line they set for me. - Incision, slight ptosis correction, slight epicanthoplasty, lateral + lower canthoplasty because there is space, so it would be effective. - Explanation of side effects of lateral + lower canthoplasty: because lower canthoplasty is fixed to the fascia, not the periosteum, it will not look unnatural when smiling - I liked the consultation content, but other places said there was no space for ptosis correction and lateral/lower canthoplasty and did not recommend them, while only this place recommended them.
3. ㅍㄹㅇㅂ - Same-day booking discount available, but no pressure - I was quoted the review discount price, total 7.6 million won
Revision eyelid surgery, nose, forehead, Director ㅇㅈㅎ - Incision + epicanthoplasty: 2.46 million won - Forehead fat grafting: 960,000 won - Nasal bridge, nasal tip + hump + short nose + donated costal cartilage for functional support = 4.18 million won - I was satisfied because the explanation was the clearest and most straightforward. - Ptosis correction, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty not recommended; personal choice - Nose materials: silicone for nasal bridge, septal cartilage and ear cartilage for nasal tip, and because septal cartilage may not be sufficient, donated costal cartilage would be used - A/S period: 1 year - The consultation was satisfying, but I’m debating because of the donated costal cartilage for functional support
I thought things would get more organized after the consultations, but I’m even more confusedㅠㅠ Originally, I wanted to do revision eyelid surgery, nose surgery, and forehead fat grafting all at once at the same hospital, but the place I like for eyes and the place I like for nose are all different.. I do have 2 more consultations next Monday, so I think I need to go to more places
Is there anyone here who used donated costal cartilage and is satisfied?
