I went around to several places and visited 5 clinics.
But I still can't decide... I don't know if I should visit more... It's so hard. I'm sharing what they told me after the consultations and the notes I organized. Everyone, where do you think you would go?
"Desired cosmetic surgery direction and nose features" Gender: female / small nose, slightly long drooping nose, small nostrils -> I only want the drooping nose improved "naturally."
No large factory-style clinics, single-doctor clinic preferred
<A> Surgery details: nasal tip auricular cartilage tying resection + alar botox (auricular cartilage) •If botox is effective, they recommend getting it a few more times after surgery too, 2-3 sessions •Natural-looking; it may not be very noticeable to people around me, so I might not be satisfied! •Not sure whether CCTV is available.
<B> •Surgery details: nasal tip + (optional: paranasal augmentation) recommended -> Not a straight line, but with a slight step-off Since the nostrils are narrow, rather than making them narrower, widen them a bit to match the current glabella and nasal bridge. Not a pointy nose, but rounded (using auricular cartilage); nostrils will show more than now •CCTV available, guardian can monitor in real time •Photos taken before consultation
<c> •Surgery details: nasal tip + raising it to match the current glabella and nasal bridge. Because there is a dragon nose, the nostrils may show a little more than now (using auricular cartilage or septal cartilage) •CT scan: deviated septum present.-> •CCTV: available, but guardian cannot monitor in real time
<d> •Surgery details: only nasal tip with auricular cartilage. No septal cartilage Cutting the depressor septi nasi muscle; nostrils may show slightly more. No mention that paranasal augmentation is needed •CT scan: yes •CCTV available and guardian can monitor in real time
<e> •Surgery details: nasal tip correction (auricular cartilage + septal cartilage) + smoothing the line with autologous dermis • No CT scan x • CCTV x
