I’m a college student, and I want a nose surgery, so I went clinic-hopping with the mindset of just skipping orientation week lol! I have a hump nose too, and I’m also interested in functional rhinoplasty, so I’ll write down everything I heard from the directors first. lol
-Banana Took photos + 3D CT When I said I was interested in functional rhinoplasty, they even checked inside my nose with an endoscope Consultation style with the consultant - very bright atmosphere, felt like she paid a lot of attention to each of my opinions, even explained how the director performs surgery, also explained the hospital’s overall system, kept asking if I had questions and waited while I took notes Consultation style with the director - I’d heard it was a straightforward consultation, and it was exactly ‘straightforward’ itself. He checked the line with a mirror and said it could improve enough without doing unnecessary things, and he explained the 3D CT in detail. Like what was cartilage and what was facial muscle? Final diagnosis - bulbous nose correction, hump correction, columella correction, nasolabial angle correction, 2 functional procedures For reimbursement-related things, I’ll ask the insurance company first and they’ll prepare various documents.
-It Item Took photos + CT Because of functional rhinoplasty, they also checked with an endoscope (30,000 won cost incurred) Consultation style with the consultant - here too, they looked closely at my needs. They asked well whether I brought photos and what kind of surgery I wanted (glamorous? semi-natural? natural? things like that) Consultation style with the director - he drew the line on a pad and showed me, and said that if I wanted to do it the way I want, they might need to extend the septum and use donated costal cartilage. Or, he said there’s also a method to express the nasal tip naturally with ear cartilage. I understood their explanation as: they don’t separately do “functional rhinoplasty” as a separate thing, but while doing cosmetic rhinoplasty, if functional aspects also need improvement, they improve them together. Final diagnosis - similar to the previous hospital. 2 functional procedures
-DA Took photos + 3D CT Because of functional rhinoplasty, they also checked with an endoscope Consultation style with the consultant - since it’s a large hospital, it did look busy, yes. But they were kind and seemed professional. I wondered if dealing with so many clients had built up that much experience.. Consultation style with the director - he explained ENT-related things well too, and for cosmetic-related things, he seemed to pay attention to how much the nasolabial angle needed to be corrected. He did look slightly tired, but he saw me for consultation after finishing surgery, so I understood Final diagnosis - he mentioned osteotomy, and the rest was similar. 2 functional procedures They asked me to check directly because the reimbursement rate can differ by insurance company
-Mood On Took photos + 3D CT Consultation style with the consultant - she asked carefully whether there were shapes I disliked or liked, and checked if there were materials I wanted, then wrote it on the chart.. The type who asks a lot of things. Also explains a lot Consultation style with the director - kind. I did think, is this what people mean by sweet? Honest consultation. If something wasn’t possible, he explained why, and if I asked about something a bit greedily, he said it would improve enough with just this, so I didn’t need to do it (almost a conservative feeling similar to the Banana director) Final diagnosis - said alar reduction and osteotomy were both unnecessary. 2 functional procedures
A lot of hospitals remove stitches around the one-week mark, together with the splint..! The cotton seems to be removed on day 2 or day 3? like that. lol Ah, I heard removing the cotton feels really weird, so I’m suddenly getting nervous.. I haven’t even set a date yet..ㄷㄷ Anyway, I organized it about this much. If I remember anything else, I’ll add it and write more.
