First of all, my nose has filler in the nasal bridge and a hump. They say I do have a basic nasal bridge, but I'm not sure.. I wonder if the doctors got confused after seeing the filler I had put in lol. Oh, and every clinic recommended slightly reducing the nostril width.
1. ㅂㅌㅇ I went because I heard it is famous for implant-free rhinoplasty. Recommended method: (implant-free - hump shaving - osteotomy - ear cartilage)
2. ㅈㅅㅌ I went because I liked the review photos. The director measured my nose and philtrum angle with a ruler in the consultation room. Recommended method: (They recommended a method similar to ㅂㅌㅇ as implant-free, but recommended dissolving the filler in the nasal bridge first and, if an implant suits me, putting one in)
3. ㅁㅋ The place where I liked the review photos the most. They do a 3D virtual preview of the surgery in advance, but it wasn't very helpful. This place emphasized a lot that they do autologous costal cartilage with a minimal incision so it doesn't hurt? Recommended method: (raising the nasal bridge and tip with autologous costal cartilage - hump - osteotomy)
4. ㅇㄷ A place where the consultation was really kind and detailed. This place analyzed my face photo in more detail than ㅁㅋ. I came back after studying my own face. Recommended method: (custom implant - they said that if I do a custom implant, I probably won't need hump shaving or osteotomy)
5. ㅇㅇㅂ (Director Kim) There were so many people waiting. I went through an acquaintance's recommendation. I went because my acquaintance's relative had it done here. Recommended method: (Either implant - osteotomy - hump - costal cartilage, or dissolve the filler first and do it implant-free like ㅂㅌㅇ)
———————— This is my consultation list so far. I made a reservation at clinic no. 5, but I heard that people who received surgery from this clinic's director have bad reviews, so now I'm reconsidering.
Q1 Is it okay to use costal cartilage for a first nose surgery? Q2 Are there cases where rhinoplasty is done without shaving the hump or doing osteotomy, like at clinic no. 3? Q3 Could there be any problems if the nasal bridge is raised with costal cartilage? Q4 Are any of these clinics blacklisted..? Is there anything I missed?
