ㅁㅇㅌ (CT scan yes, consultation fee 10,000 won) Went on a weekday morning, so there was no waiting Consultation ratio: coordinator 80, doctor 20 (total consultation time: 40 minutes) Coordinator - The way she forced a smile and seemed to try hard to empathize made me feel a little uncomfortable, but she seemed really diligent and hardworking. She said my septal cartilage was small, so I’d probably need autologous costal cartilage. During the consultation she also recommended lip filler, but she referred me to another clinic for that. And after I finished consulting with the doctor, when we talked about the price, there was pressure to leave a deposit. Doctor - He looked extremely tired and worn out. After touching my nose a few times, he said he’d need to use costal cartilage, then after looking at the CT images said it was because my septal cartilage was small. But I was a bit hesitant about using ribs for a first surgery, so I asked if ear cartilage would be okay instead, and he was like, well.. do that then. He showed me before-and-after photos of a patient he’d operated on for my case type (an arrow nose), but it looked too artificial, so I decided to keep looking. *I wanted to have a calm one-on-one consultation with the doctor, but since it was just the three of us in that cramped room, me plus the coordinator and the doctor, it felt pressured, and both of them moved through things too quickly so I got anxious. Still, the deposit is fully refundable if you cancel 7 days before surgery. Estimate (silicone, ear cartilage) 3.4 million won
ㅎㅌ (CT scan yes, consultation fee no) I went around lunchtime on a weekday, but had to wait over an hour before seeing the doctor Consultation ratio: coordinator 40, doctor 60 Coordinator - The consultation was carried out in a way that really put me in a bad mood, and her way of looking down on me made me feel very hurt. There was some pressure to leave a deposit, and she didn’t really tell me what material would be best. It felt like she was just killing time before the doctor consultation, and after I talked with the doctor about the cost, she became a bit kinder, but the moment it looked like I wasn’t going to place a deposit, her attitude changed immediately. I felt uneasy. And when I said the price was too expensive, she said that if I uploaded full-face 공개 photos of myself on the app for 5 years, she’d give me a 1 million won discount. I did think about it. If I want the doctor I want, and get a 1 million won discount for 5 years of full-face disclosure on that app, but if I don’t want that and want the same price, I’d have to do the surgery with another doctor. Doctor - Maybe because I met him after seeing the coordinator, but he felt like a friendly uncle from the neighborhood. Instead of just using the CT, he also took photos on a tablet and drew on them while explaining things. He emphasized costal cartilage here too. He was an okay doctor, and if I only look at the doctor consultation time, it was about 30 minutes? Estimate (silicone, donated costal cartilage) 4.8 million won
ㅇㄷ (CT scan no, consultation fee 10,000 won) I went in the afternoon and there was no wait at all Consultation ratio: coordinator 30, doctor 70 Coordinator - She was really calm and kind, and explained everything in a soft, careful way. There was only a very slight pressure to leave a deposit Doctor - He even let me touch the silicone, and said that other hospitals telling me to use ribs sounded like over-treatment, that he wouldn’t raise it that much anyway, and that it wasn’t something he would use. The consultation was about whether to use septal cartilage, but it was a rather short consultation, around 10 minutes Estimate (silicone, septal cartilage with same-day booking condition) 3.2 million won
ㅇㄱㅈㅅㅇ (CT scan no, consultation fee no) This was the place I went to after booking all the hospitals above, and I was about to give up because of the price, then I just walked into a place I saw in front of me, thinking that if the price was too high this time too, I’d really give up. It was my very last stop. Since it was evening, I waited about 5 minutes Consultation ratio: coordinator 40, doctor 60 (the consultation time felt like it was under an hour, but it was the most substantial) Coordinator - She was kind and felt like a familiar older sister, and she praised the doctor a lot. You could really feel the hospital pride. There was almost no pressure to leave a deposit, and she listened carefully to the nose shape I wanted. Doctor - He had a warm, fatherly feel, and like at ㅇㄷ, he said ribs were, sorry, an example of over-treatment. When I honestly said I came this far because of the prices at the other hospitals, he said that in terms of cost, unless it’s the insurance-covered side of a regular hospital, whether it’s 10 won or 10 trillion won is up to the doctor, and since I’m a student he adjusted as much as he could. But I later found out it was a famous and affordable hospital. I placed a deposit for now, but there are no photo reviews on this community, so I’m a little uneasy Estimate (silicone, septal cartilage) 2.2 million won
Would ㅇㄱㅈㅅㅇ be okay?
