My nose has a slight hump, and it is a wide, long nose. I got a consultation for a non-implant nose, and I'm still deliberation. They said they would raise the nose with ear cartilage, not shave down the hump, and fill the line from the hump to the tip with cartilage to match the raised tip, then cover the bridge once with fascia from behind the ear so the thin skin wouldn't show the cartilage as much. Since they don't touch the nose much, I think swelling would be minimal and recovery might be fast? But my concern is that ear cartilage is soft and supposedly doesn't work well as support (so I heard), and that worries me a bit. Also, the doctor said if they proceed without shaving the hump, it might end up a little less smooth, and if that's okay then it doesn't need to be shaved. I have no sense of how much that would be. I felt like they would handle it safely, and I really like the idea of proceeding without damaging the nose itself too much, but out of the four consultations I had, this is the only place that said they would use ear cartilage, so I'm still wondering what would be best.

It is not about becoming overly dramatic or flashy, but more about tying the cartilage and making a small change. Since they are not making a columella incision in the first place, it is nonsense to expect the shape to change dramatically…

Wow, it is really rare to find a clinic with such great facilities. It had a hotel-like feel and I loved it. The consultation was also very kind and detailed. But I wish the surgery price were a little cheaper. Everything is good, but the…

I go to both the Dongseong-ro branch and the Daegu branch, and the Daegu branch is much better. If you've been to Bbum, you probably already know it's factory-style and pushes excessive upselling. Even so, the reason people choose it is…
