It’s my first surgery, and I have a low nose + short nose, but I wanted to improve my protruding mouth and side profile, so I decided to have surgery. I was scared of silicone side effects, so I wanted surgery without an implant, but directors who are board-certified plastic surgeons with over 10 years of experience all said it can’t be done without silicone. So now I’m thinking of adding an implant: Nasal bridge: silicone Nasal tip support: septal cartilage + donated costal cartilage Something like that.. I thought about giving up on surgery altogether, but when I see my flat side profile, I can’t give up on the design I don’t want a flashy nose, I want a natural-looking nose My consultations are 1. ㅎㅌ-ㅎㅅㅊ (chief director, board-certified plastic surgeon, 10 years of experience) :Pros) good at producing the same shape consistently Cons) flashy 2. ㅁㅌ-ㅇㅎㅅ (chief director, solo practice, board-certified plastic surgeon, 14 years of experience) :Impossible without silicone.. I couldn’t even get a consultation and was sent away 3. ㅈㅅㅌ-ㄱㄱㅂ (board-certified plastic surgeon, 3 years of experience) :Surgery without an implant is possible. They gave me an estimate for ear cartilage + artificial dermis + cartilage binding + lowering the columella, but I don’t trust it.. 4. ㅇㅂㅈ-ㅅㅊㅎ (board-certified plastic surgeon, 4 years of experience) :Surgery without an implant is possible. But the consultation was careless and they didn’t explain the materials well. So I don’t trust it 5. ㅇㅂㅅ-ㅅㅅㅈ (chief director, board-certified plastic surgeon, 12 years of experience) :No implant-free surgery. They said autologous cartilage is also a foreign material, so the risk of side effects is the same. If I’m anxious, they told me to only do nostril reduction. =>Nasal bridge (silicone) + nasal tip (septal cartilage, donated costal cartilage) + bulbous nose + nasolabial angle + saddle nose + nostril reduction Using donated costal cartilage bothers me a bit... First of all, surgery on the date I want is difficult, so I’m thinking about it (+ I have a deviated nose issue, so I’m hesitant) 6. ㅂㄴㄴ-ㅊㅇㅊ (chief director, board-certified plastic surgeon, 8 years of experience) :No implant-free surgery. They gave me an estimate similar to ㅇㅂㅅ. But here, the consultant recommended a chin or forehead implant, so I cut them in the first round, but the design wasn’t bad, so I’m thinking about it =>Nasal bridge (silicone) + nasal tip (septal cartilage, donated costal cartilage) + bulbous nose + nasolabial angle + columella + hump Here too, donated costal cartilage Please check if any of these are blacklisted!! And using donated costal cartilage too
haa90 I don’t think there are any blacklisted ones!! If it were me, I’d probably choose between clinics 5 and 6! And I heard donated costal cartilage is doable for a first surgery. For me too, autologous costal cartilage feels burdensome for a first surgery, and I’d rather use donated costal cartilage.
심심해용 I had revision surgery with director no. 1, and I think I’m finally done with my nose now. Even if it’s your first surgery, you need to meet a director who does it properly and really understands noses. It’s even better if the director does a lot of revision surgeries too. And in my opinion, I don’t think they only do that flashy style. I also wanted a natural improvement!
베니스레몬 There are a lot of reviews saying ㅁㅌ’s consultations are conscientious, but I guess they do send people away too. I’ll keep that in mind, thank you.
핫패애애액 [@haa90] I heard autologous costal cartilage leaves a scar and is painful too. Thanks for checking the blacklist!!!
핫패애애액 [@베니스레몬] He didn’t even take a consultation fee. I was flustered, but since he told me clearly, I actually felt unexpectedly relieved.
핫패애애액 [@심심해용] With no. 1, I could definitely feel that the director had a lot of experience! It was my first consultation, so I hadn’t studied enough, but he showed me the materials, surgical method, and expected design. I chose another clinic purely because of my taste, but if no. 1 matches your taste, I think it would be good too!
미아미아야 Thanks to you, I saved myself some online research. Thank you for the information on the doctors’ experience too!!
