At first, after going to two places for consultations, I believed what I was told that it could be done with only septal cartilage, not costal cartilage, and I was considering ㅁㅌ. But this week I decided I would go to just three more places as my final round and then make a decision. The columella that drops down when I smile was my complex, and I have a no-implant arrow-shaped nose, dragon nose, and a hump! 1. ㄷㄷㅇ(ㅣㅔㅇ) No consultation fee, had a CT scan and photos taken. The consultant was not there, so I had about a 40-minute consultation only with the director. It was long, detailed, and kind. - Director ㅊㅅㅊ Because I had a CT scan, he explained my overall issues well, and as expected, because my septal cartilage is small, he recommended using costal cartilage, and we discussed donated costal cartilage. I have an arrow-shaped nose, dragon nose, and a hump, so he said that if I only want no implant, only the nasal tip can be corrected, and the hump would be shaved down a little. He said that way it would connect smoothly. He emphasized what is realistically possible. He said there is a discount if doing a review event. He showed me the CCTV. But since it is a one-doctor clinic anyway, he jokingly said the structure makes it impossible to have someone else operate even if he wanted to, and he seemed somehow confident, so I trusted him. For inflammation or side effects, 1-year aftercare. Because the consultant was not there, the director told me to ask anything, so I really asked everything haha. After it ended, the consultant said she would give me the quote the next day, so I left for the time being. ++ After seeing the quote from the consultant here, I had almost decided to go with this place... But after coming back, I found out he has about 7 years of experience, there were no bad reviews at all, and the reviews felt too artificial? so I eventually gave up.
2. ㅁㅎ(ㅣㅗ) Consultation fee 10,000 won, had a CT scan. Consultation went consultant-director-consultant and took about 40 minutes. There was about a 20-30 minute wait. - Director ㅇㅅㅎ He explained things well while looking at the CT, and said nasal tip correction is possible and the hump would be shaved slightly, similar to ㄷㄷㅇ, but here he said it would be good to lower the columella a little to make the dragon nose slightly gentler. As expected, because my septal cartilage is small, he recommended using costal cartilage, and since it would be my first surgery, it was decided as donated costal cartilage. I liked that he explained the realistic points well. They showed the CCTV and said they would show a total of 5 minutes at random. For inflammation or side effects, 1-year aftercare. 1-year aftercare. There was a review event, and the consultant pressured me to book that same day... She said they do not do reviews on this community, so I thought this community must have many practical reviews and sincere people... and felt relieved. ++ Here, the consultant felt like she was pressuring me too much, so it actually felt off... There were also quite a lot of bad reviews...
+++ In the end, I went to a total of 4 places, but I disliked one because there were no bad reviews, disliked another because there were many bad reviews, and so on... Even to me, I felt like I was wavering too much, so I had a reality check... Even with no implant, I was scared of side effects... so in the end I decided not to do it at all, and instead invest the surgery money, work hard on dieting, and just take care of myself ㅠㅠ I should stop going in and out of this community now too ㅠㅠ If I succeed in dieting, I’ll come back next winter.. ㅠ
