First of all, I went to 3 places, mainly natural-looking clinics and single-doctor clinics: ㅁㅌ, ㅇㅇㅇ, and ㅈㅇㅈㅇ. Usually, even for a first surgery, I thought they take a CT scan, but they charged a 10,000 won consultation fee and none of them took one. Is this right?
1. ㅁㅌ Since it was my first consultation, I went in without knowing much and couldn’t even ask what I wanted to ask. What was interesting here was that they said they do it by moving the nasal septum, so they seemed proud that this method has fewer side effects. The doctor usually doesn’t use ear cartilage, but said there was a 50% chance they would use ear cartilage for me. They mentioned length extension by 5 degrees and columella reconstruction? I couldn’t ask any questions
2. ㅈㅇㅈㅇ For this place, I had called suddenly, and they said they would call me if there was a cancellation, so I said okay. Then they suddenly contacted me on the same day, so I ended up going in a rush. But somehow the consultant was really unfriendly, and I just didn’t really like the vibe? Also, the wait was really long, and my next appointment time was getting close, so I asked how much longer it would take because I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it there if it got any later. Only then did I get to go in. I had a consultation with Director ㄱㄷㅈ, and he was really kind and explained things really well. This was the only place that suggested using rib cartilage?? They said A/S is only possible for clearly functional issues, and for follow-up visits, the cotton packing is removed on day 3, then visits are at 1 week and 2 weeks.
3. ㅇㅇㅇ I had the highest expectations for this place. First, it was the most expensive price-wise, and they explained things very delicately and thoroughly, and the consultant was like that too. The surgical method also seemed similar to ㅁㅌ, and maybe just ear cartilage? What I really liked here was that they don’t use nasal packing at all. For A/S, they talked as if they basically almost don’t do it. When I asked if things like uneven nostrils wouldn’t be covered and only functional issues would be handled, I think they answered that that wouldn’t happen.
