For my eyes, I had double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and ptosis correction 9 years ago. Honestly, I liked the overall line, but as time passed it felt like the line was being pulled down(?) and losing tension, so I wanted a revision. So this time, while I was determined to have nose surgery, I also got a consultation for eye revision, and since my forehead was very flat, I also consulted about forehead fat grafting. My nose was a short nose with quite a bit of nostril show.
1. Clinic name: Toptier Plastic Surgery Consultation staff: manager & CEO surgeon Jo Yongjin Consultation fee: none After consulting with the manager, I met the surgeon and proceeded with surgery. *Manager Nose: said there seemed to be a hump, would slightly shave it down and use silicone to raise the bridge, the columellar support would be septal cartilage, and if that was not possible, autologous costal cartilage would be used (ear cartilage was not recommended) Eyes: said a semi in-out line would be possible, but since it already had a slight in-out look, a higher line might be difficult Forehead: for fat grafting, abdominal fat could also be used, but the thighs were recommended; it would be done in two stages *Surgeon Nose: would proceed with donated rib cartilage and septal cartilage Eyes: said a semi in-out line + ptosis correction + partial incision would be possible, and that an out line looked unnatural and was not recommended Forehead: same as above
This was a place I visited because I liked the line through the app, but unlike the next two clinics, they did a CT scan. Still, the next two were almost my final candidates, so I skipped this one.
2. Clinic name: Chiyu Plastic Surgery Consultant: manager & CEO surgeon Park Yu-gil Consultation fee: 10,000 won Nose: make the nasolabial angle with ear cartilage + septal cartilage, and use dermis for the bridge (they said if you focus too much on the tip, the skin's elasticity means the bridge cannot be raised very much) Eyes: create a line only about 1 to 1.5 mm higher than the existing position with buried sutures, in-out line Forehead: split into first and second stages, use the back of the thighs Aftercare: private room after surgery, three follow-up visits with swelling laser treatment and sebum care
A acquaintance had nose surgery here and it turned out very naturally, so I visited. The surgeon also seemed to prioritize naturalness and safety. He conducted the consultation very carefully and the atmosphere was calm, so for some reason I felt I could trust him. The clinic atmosphere was also calm and cozy, so it left the best first impression when I visited. After a private visit, I asked for a second consultation because I was worried that using costal cartilage and, for an already small nose, using septal cartilage and ear cartilage to pull everything out might cause problems later, but they listened carefully and said autologous costal cartilage would also be possible if that was what I wanted.
3. Clinic name: Private Plastic Surgery Consultant: manager & CEO surgeon Lee Jun-woo Eyes: incision, upper epicanthoplasty Nose: tip (septal cartilage, donated rib cartilage), osteotomy for a thick nose, short nose correction (columellar lengthening), bridge decided in the operating room depending on the skin condition Forehead: fat grafting in stages 1 and 2 Aftercare: 5-bed room after surgery, two visits based on donated rib cartilage, and swelling laser treatment
I also went here on a friend's recommendation because my friend's eyes turned out so beautifully here.ㅎㅎ At the time, the surgeon had been at Item, and it seemed like they had since opened their own clinic. Compared with Chiyu, they definitely preferred a more glamorous line, and I liked how they clearly said yes if it could be done and no if it could not. The way they spoke was good, and they had that unmistakable E-person vibe..? As a side note, when I was consulting with the manager before the surgeon, the manager spoke so fast I thought he was a rapper..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The biggest downside, though, was that when I canceled my surgery reservation, they charged a 10% cancellation penalty. I called to cancel two days after making the reservation, and there were still about ten days left until surgery, but because there had been no clear notice about a cancellation penalty, I was very taken aback when I heard about it. If you leave a deposit at Private, you should definitely keep this in mind.
