A belated review after visiting 8 clinics for consultations (+1 clinic added)

(All consultations took place in mid-June. I got a lot of help from a community, so I’m writing this because I want to help too.) ( + I forgot to write about 1 clinic, so I’m adding it.) ㅁㅇㄷ First rhinoplasty consultation. The director spoke so softly and calmly that it was hard to hear the explanation. So the consultation didn’t really stay in my memory, and it was short. The consultation with the consultant was longer. But the consultant recommended a lot of different things. The base price was around 4.7 million won, and they said whether costal cartilage would be used could only be known on the day of surgery. They said if donated costal cartilage was used, it would be +700,000 won. Oh, and this was the only place that mentioned osteotomy. ㅇㅍ, donated costal cartilage Because they were behind the appointment time, I waited for a very long time. Both the consultant and the director seemed busy. During the director’s consultation, I could really feel that he was explaining in a rush, as if he had to get to the next schedule, and wanted to wrap it up quickly, so I ended it quickly. And the consultant said they were sorry for the long wait and would give me a price discount, so I was tempted, but I wasn’t strongly drawn to it, so I passed. ㅃㄹ, custom implant / autologous costal cartilage The staff, consultant, and director were all kind, and the director tried to explain leisurely and in detail. But I felt like the director didn’t quite catch the nose I wanted. Still, the consultation was okay. The price was around 4.8 million won? with a June discount. And I think they said donated costal cartilage and autologous costal cartilage were the same price. ㅍㄹㅇㅂ, donated costal cartilage The consultation was better than I expected, so it exceeded my expectations. The director gave off a very professional vibe. But I was also worried it might turn out too flashy, so I was torn. The consultant pushed the deposit really hard, and when I didn’t put down a deposit, her expression completely changed. It was a bit... like that. ㅁㅎ, donated costal cartilage First of all, the consultation fee is 30,000 won, which is too expensive. It’s not like they give you a long consultation. Anyway, the consultation itself was calm, and I ended up trusting it more than I expected. But the base price here is also expensive. I think it was around 5.5 million won after discount. ㄹㄱ, donated costal cartilage I found out about it through Instagram and went, and I was surprised because it was better than I expected. The consultant was also kind and calm. During the consultation, the director used the CT scan and even measured angles, explaining the ideal angle and lots of details. He was cheerful and seemed to have a good personality. Looking at the consultation itself, this was the best. There was no pressure to pay a deposit either. But basically, the price is very high. ㄷㄷㅇ, donated costal cartilage I went here because it’s also famous in the community and seemed good at flashy but refined styles. The consultant found and showed me photos of someone similar to me. They didn’t take a CT scan. And they said the two directors have somewhat different aesthetic preferences. The director I consulted with seemed to consult for about 10 minutes. With the side-view photo they took, they drew on it and told me it would be about this much... then just kept repeating that they would make it pretty, and the consultation ended. It felt somewhat lacking. The price was reasonable. ㅁㅇㅌ, autologous costal cartilage The consultant was honest and kind. The director was calm and gave the consultation leisurely. He kept asking if I had any questions. The consultation was fine. He was calm, and somehow I trusted him. Also, it didn’t feel like a place that goes viral on social media; it was quiet, and I think I liked that feeling and trusted it. And above all, the reviews match the style I’m aiming for.
