The top 2 clinics I agonized over until the very end. This was the fourth surgery and the last surgery, so it was a clinic I looked into and researched very hard. The conditions I focused on were 1. It had to be a top-5 university ENT specialist in our country 2. More than 15 years of plastic surgery experience (many surgical cases) 3. A private clinic 4. Community surgery-expectation score 5. Pursue naturalness and safety (no implant) rather than flashiness
It was a clinic that met those conditions, and the final two choices left me agonizing a lot. The surgery quote was high, but because my surgery included the functional nose, if I had insurance, about 4.5 million won could be covered, so in the end the cost burden was lower.
The director was very kind, confident, and highly professional, and suggested an active surgical plan by removing the existing rib cartilage and harvesting strong 6th rib cartilage. However, I had a step-by-step method in mind, so I wanted to leave that as the final option, and in the end I couldn't decide, but this place is definitely a clinic with an outstanding director.
