I am looking into getting cosmetic surgery while treating my rhinitis.
I wanted the functional aspect more, so I had consultations with otolaryngology specialists, not plastic surgery specialists!
1 Star Plastic Surgery (Director Ko Kuk-jin)
No consultation fee (CT taken)
They said septoplasty and rhinitis treatment are covered by indemnity insurance, and nasal valve treatment is not covered by indemnity insurance.
They said septoplasty (115) and rhinitis (75), these two together are 190, and it can be done with a closed approach.
but! If I do the nasal valve too, it has to be open surgery, and since it would be open, I asked about cosmetic surgery too.
They said cosmetic 250 + nasal valve 150 = 400.
They said if ear cartilage is used, it is 400,000 won per ear, and if cartilage from both ears is used, 800,000 won is added.
So in total, functional is 190, cosmetic + nasal valve is 400, and cartilage addition is 40-80.
Minimum 630 to maximum 670. But the 190 can be covered by indemnity insurance.
An anesthesiology specialist is available / same-day discharge
2 GNG Hospital (Director Lee Sung-hoon)
Consultation fee 25,600 won (CT taken)
They said septoplasty, rhinitis, and nasal valve treatment can be covered by indemnity insurance. But they said nasal valve coverage differs a little by insurer, so it may not be covered.
They said septoplasty and rhinitis (250), and up to nasal valve is 380.
Since it would be open surgery, I similarly asked about cosmetic surgery costs. Here it was 120, and they mentioned using septal cartilage, silicone, donated costal cartilage, or autologous costal cartilage.
I dislike silicone, so I chose donated costal cartilage. General anesthesia is required. An anesthesiology specialist is available.
And they said one-day hospitalization is possible.
I will look into more places, but even checking two places is exhausting, and I plan to do it before Chuseok, so there is not much time. I am also debating whether to just choose between these two places.
Everyone says they shop around a lot, but is it originally this hard??ㅜㅜ
