I first wanted to consult with an otolaryngology specialist, and improving function was my priority, so I only went to those two places. 1. ㅅㅅㄷㄹ There are already a lot of people coming in for general treatment, so it had a very cluttered neighborhood-clinic atmosphere. There is only one director who performs surgery. One thing that worries me is that surgeries seem to be scheduled every 2 hours. For functional improvement, the advantage is that they prioritize a closed approach, and they don’t forcefully assign a nasal valve code. Other than that, there was no excessive pressure, and they answered what I asked well. (4.8 million KRW, functional + cosmetic) 2. ㅈㅇㅈ Here, the building itself is clean and everything feels extremely systematic. Because of that, many people go there, and it seemed like a hospital specializing in functional rhinoplasty, so I felt reassured. During the consultation, it was like, um... they were extremely expert? They skillfully went through everything about the surgery from 1 to 100, but that actually made it feel a bit like a factory, and they explained things more from the cosmetic surgery side, so I’m worried because it felt like they were somewhat overlooking the side effects after functional rhinoplasty that I’m concerned about. Here, they add a nasal valve code, so the total is around 5 million KRW, but the problem is that the most expensive nasal valve may not get a reimbursement code from private insurance.
For now, both places seem fine, but the feel is very different. I’m worried because ㅅㅅㄷㄹ doesn’t feel very surgery-focused, but there are so few reviews I know there was an issue with the ㄱㄴ branch, but hospitals differ depending on the doctor anyway, so why is there no one who had it done at ㅅㅅㅈ... If anyone has, please let me know. I’m really so curious.
And ㅈㅇㅈ is functional rhinoplasty, but the atmosphere feels too much like a plastic surgery clinic, which makes me hesitate... Straight-to-curved, glamorous-natural, and all that... I don’t like those kinds of lines, and I really want it to look natural Please tell me what to do
