I went, had a consultation with the manager, got a CT scan, waited about 10 minutes, then had a consultation with the director, and then another consultation with the manager They said a straight line would suit me (they didn’t recommend anything too flashy or too high) and suggested raising only the nose tip a little more and making the nasolabial angle around 90 degrees to give the face more dimension The consultation manager was super kind, and apparently had worked with the director for 6 years? 10 years? so the hospital and the director’s surgical understanding was really high Here they use silicone for the bridge, slightly correct a bulbous nose, support the nose tip with ear cartilage like a front support for the nose (so other cartilage won’t poke forward), and use septal cartilage to project the nose tip forward. If they think the septal cartilage won’t be strong enough to support it, they use donated rib cartilage. The donated rib cartilage is individually packaged about the size of a pinky nail, isn’t large, and is already cut from the start, so there’s no worry about bacterial infection x It’s used only in the minimum amount, only as a role to be attached beside the septal cartilage they’ve set up so it won’t collapse and stay fixed. The probability of using it is about 30%? If it is used, an additional 500,000 won is paid after surgery for the donated rib cartilage cost
