They said not to use honorifics, so please understand if my tone sounds awkward..ㅜㅜ I’m really worried, but I don’t have anywhere to ask, so I’m writing this post My biggest concern is my wide bulbous nose, and I also want my rhinitis to be addressed at the same time After consultations at hospitals, they said my nostrils aren’t particularly large, but I have a lot of fat in the nasal alae and my skin is on the thicker side I already had one surgery 10 years ago I didn’t have any major complications from the first surgery, but my facial bones are originally quite asymmetrical, so the nasal bridge looks slightly crooked + the wide nose shape, which is my biggest complex, didn’t improve I don’t have major complaints about the current shape of my nasal bridge itself I prefer a natural look over a dramatic one I went to consultations at about 8 places, and among them, I’m considering the options below 1. Proceed only with alar base reduction, which addresses my biggest complex Hospital I’m considering: ㅇㄴㅁㄷ - chief director Recommended procedures: alar base reduction, reduction of alar thickness, correction of deviation, correction of drooping, columellar graft I had a consultation and got a quote, but the estimate was higher than doing a full revision surgery by taking everything apart ㅜㅜ I’m considering it because they said they can reduce the thickness of the nasal alae, which is my biggest concern I have heard from other places that there is no surgery to reduce alar thickness 2. Take everything apart and do functional + cosmetic revision rhinoplasty Hospitals I’m considering ㅂㄷㄴ - chief director - Silicone + septal cartilage + ear cartilage + donated costal cartilage + functional rhinoplasty Overall, raise the bridge and nasal tip slightly more than now, and do alar base reduction and functional rhinoplasty together ㄷㅇㅇ - Director ㄱㅇㅈ - Silicone + septal cartilage + ear cartilage + donated costal cartilage + functional rhinoplasty Keep the nasal bridge at the current height and only replace the implant, raise the nasal tip slightly more than now and perform nasal tip cartilage binding, perform alar base reduction to change the nostril shape from round to slightly elongated, and do functional rhinoplasty together I didn’t have high expectations for ㅂㄷㄴ, but the before-and-after photos they showed me during the consultation were so much to my liking that I’m considering it, and I’m hesitating because there are a few bad reviews in this community ㄷㅇㅇ is a large hospital, so the atmosphere was chaotic and the staff were unfriendly, but the director who consulted with me was so very kind, and I liked that he tried to reflect my needs as much as possible However, considering the director’s experience, it’s hard to find many surgery reviews, so I’m worried I’m really, really torn, so please feel free to leave a word or two...
닝게나 It makes sense that you’d be torn. Even hospitals you hadn’t been considering are coming into the picture.. But from the perspective of someone who has had surgery, I think it’s right to choose based on the director!.. Especially if you’re doing functional rhinoplasty too..!
뿌뿌룽 [@Ninggena] ㅠㅠ Thank you. I’ll think about which director might be able to look at my nose better...!!
익명 Reducing alar thickness really isn’t something just anyone does, but looking at the consultation details, they all seem not great, so I’d probably look around at more hospitals.
뿌뿌룽 [@] When you say it’s not something just anyone does, do you mean it’s not a surgery that applies to just any patient?! Aside from the hospitals I put on my list, another place I consulted at also recommended surgery to reduce alar thickness, but I excluded that place because it seemed like they hadn’t been performing thickness-reduction surgery for very long ㅜㅜ I guess my alar thickness really is quite thick.. I should look into more hospitals too! Since it’s revision surgery, I’m becoming even more cautious... Thanks for the advice!!
솔이좋앙 These days, it seems like there really isn’t anywhere with no bad reviews.. Honestly, I find it stranger when there are only good things saidㅋㅋ Since you’ve been to a lot of consultations, you probably know better, so try choosing the place that felt right to you~
뿌뿌룽 [@Solijoang] ㅠㅠ.. Thanks for cheering me on. I know there’s no surgery that’s 100% safe, but when there are bad reviews, I keep feeling shaken and worried.. I’ll think about it more!!
익명 [@Ppupurung] By any chance, how was your first surgery done that they’re using all those types of cartilage?
뿌뿌룽 [@] It was done so long ago that I’m not sure whether septal cartilage was used, but ear cartilage and silicone were used!
이육칠육 I also had a consultation with Director ㄱㅇㅈ and am looking for reviews, but my level is low so I can’t see the comments ㅠㅠㅠ How are the comment reactions??? Did you decide to get it done by Director Kim??
