Five-hospital walk-in review!

<This is my nose!> Before going in, first of all, my nose Long nose + slightly wide/bulky nose (the doctor said it is spread because the cartilage is large) + very thin skin + slight tip fullness + large cartilage + high bridge but low tip + first surgery Aesthetic preference: natural~slightly defined (about natural 60 / defined 40), straight nasal line (Private clinics focused) A hospital Consultation was good and kind They used hand sanitizer, and it felt nice that they carefully shaped the face He said there was no need to touch the nasal bridge because it was already high For the tip, he suggested septal cartilage + ear cartilage (not confirmed) He said he would try to avoid ear cartilage as much as possible because I don’t want a very high result He suggested using dermis for a height difference, but I didn’t want anything too dramatic, so recommending buttock dermis felt a little off No deposit was required Consultation fee: 10,000 won B hospital No waiting I consulted directly with the director This hospital said they didn’t take a CT, so they could not know whether they would use septal cartilage or donor tissue He suggested trimming the tip, tying cartilage, and lifting the tip At first he recommended silicone, which felt a little strange Even though I said silicone is unnecessary even after visiting many clinics, when I said this, he wrote "artificial dermis" on the chart without even checking with me So when I said I wanted autologous dermis, he said, “You seem like you visited a lot of clinics” That made me feel a little off there He explained natural-looking outcomes, dermal absorption, etc., which was good Still, it felt a bit strange No consultation fee C hospital Very natural feel I really liked the line this hospital proposed This hospital also recommended no implant He said to use only ear cartilage and said septal cartilage was not particularly needed For irregularity, I liked that he suggested using postauricular dermis instead of buttock dermis He said it would be okay to leave a little tip fullness if I wanted He seemed to know current trends well I almost finalized here, then changed to another clinic because I found one I liked better Still, this hospital needs to match my aesthetic sense well Consultation fee: 10,000 won D hospital It was a 10:30 reservation, consultation started at 10:40 and ended at 11:00 He gave an impression of being a bit hurried This hospital also suggested an implant-free approach Septal cartilage + postauricular dermis + ear cartilage (whether cartilage is used or not is unclear) He did not define the line clearly and only drew on a computer No consultation fee E hospital Of the places I visited first, the surgeon here was the kindest He explained every material one by one He suggested septal cartilage + ear cartilage + postauricular dermis + absorbable collagen fascia This hospital also recommended no implant He explained each thing I was worried about I asked many questions and he answered all of them Like Hospital C, he said there is also a method to leave a little tip fullness naturally I said I want this direction, because I prefer a natural look I liked it the most during consultation, so I came with a deposit (I was not pressured to pay a deposit at any clinic I visited) If you want more details, leave a comment I’ll explain everything carefully I also looked up many first-surgery shopping reviews I hope it helps others too
