I visited to lower my nose after a botched rhinoplasty that made it turn up. I wasn’t even told the price, so I entered it as one million won arbitrarily.
1. Location Accessibility is very good. The clinic is right in front of the station, so it’s easy to visit, but if you use a car, you can experience hell. (Parking fee cannot be paid by card)
2. Consultation After visiting, I had a CT scan and then a consultation with the manager. While talking about what surgeries I had had so far, I was told for the first time that the reason the tip of my nose turned up could be contracture, and for safety they could perform removal surgery on the nose, then wait for recovery while getting PRP injections, and then schedule surgery afterward. I knew PRP injections themselves had several benefits, but I was a little taken aback. Then the doctor’s consultation began. Because only 6 months had passed since the last surgery, there was a possibility that the nose could drop more (the previous surgery used donor rib cartilage), and there were no signs of contracture or inflammation (I had visited 4 clinics so far and asked about contracture symptoms, and fortunately all of them said it wasn’t due to contracture or inflammation). I felt somewhat relieved, but in the consultation that followed, they said the nose might come down more, so let’s wait while getting PRP injections until the nose softens, and after 1 or 2 years it might be okay, and so on. At first I honestly didn’t understand what they were trying to say (I’m trying to believe they were speaking carefully so as not to hurt me), so I asked again whether they were saying surgery was impossible right now. After that, the doctor left and the consultation manager asked me to wait. I waited 15 minutes, but another coordinator came into the room, and when they said I could wait another 10 to 15 minutes, I asked what the point was of staying here if surgery itself was impossible. They left for a moment and came back, then said I could just pay the consultation fee and go home today, and to contact them if I had more questions, and the consultation ended. I didn’t get a business card.
Conclusion. It does seem like they are trying to operate safely, but I got the same strange feeling I had at other large hospitals. Since they said revision surgery is impossible, I guess there is nothing to be done..
