In 2016, I had rhinoplasty with a discount on the condition that I would write a review. I don’t even remember who the doctor was... Did I see them once before surgery? There was no follow-up visit after booking to go over the design in detail or anything like that. I think they just said I would see the doctor on the day of surgery, and that was it. I had a hump nose and an arrow-shaped nose, and the surgery was done with osteotomy + silicone implant for the nasal bridge + ear cartilage for the nasal tip. Even right after surgery, I felt the improvement of the arrow-shaped nose was a bit disappointing. I think the nasal tip dropped more as the swelling went down between 6 months and 1 year, and from around year 6, the cartilage and silicone started shifting to the left, causing nasal tip show-through. I ignored it and lived with it, but it seems to be getting gradually worse, so I’m looking into revision surgery now! Still, I didn’t have contracture or other side effects... should I call that fortunate? hahaㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅜㅜㅜ Anyway, the disappointing points above... the clinic may have been partly at fault, but I think my own fault was bigger. I was too rushed without looking into it carefully, and I don’t think I clearly and precisely communicated what kind of nose I wanted and how I hoped it would be improved. If anyone planning to get rhinoplasty is reading this, when you have surgery, don’t just leave it all to the directors because you trust their aesthetic sense. Tell them exactly what parts you really dislike and what parts you like, several times!! Don’t just assume, “They’ll understand, right?” and move on ㅜㅜ Even when you explain things clearly before proceeding, people still end up needing revisions and re-revisionsㅜ... Good luck, everyone.

RU gave me the highest quote. First, I think the clinic had a brown-toned interior! I was really lucky to get a same-day canceled consultation slot, so I went in for a consultation. There was no waiting at all, and the consultant was kind t
