The review below contains my personal feelings and thoughts, so absolutely do not judge a clinic based only on my review!! I was only doing online research diligently in a community, but there wasn't much information and private comments were just lined up... It was exhausting and I felt a reality check, so I just mindlessly booked consultations mainly at places that looked famous and went in person. I hope this helps~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My nose: (front view) arrow-shaped nose (side view) drooping nasal tip, bluntness
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clinic 1 ㅎㄴㅂ
Consultation fee X Wait time X
-CT: optional imaging by choice (imaging fee 10,000 won) Camera photos: x Other nose check: x
Additional note) Reason I added CT ㅎㄴㅂ was the 4th clinic in my consultation order, but the three clinics I had visited before did not do CT imaging. The place I was going to visit after Hanabi had CT imaging, but I forgot and paid an extra 10,000 won for CT imaging lol
Maybe it is hard to confirm with the naked eye whether there is deviated nasal septum, so the previous doctors did not mention it, but here they told me for the first time that I had slight deviated nasal septum. At first I wondered, why is only this place saying that? But after CT imaging at the fifth clinic I visited, I heard the same thing.
-Surgery time: 1-2 hours
-Price: 3,000,000 won (VAT included) Other discount availability (requests): x
-Aftercare Swelling laser (I did not ask whether it was free)
-Anesthesia method Sedation anesthesia
-CCTV: x
-AS period: 3 years Not free, and additional costs may occur
-Other notes The atmosphere did not suit me From the moment I first walked in, I felt some kind of pressure It felt like the conversation with the director did not flow smoothly...? I do not know why, but it felt very awkwardㅠㅠ Because the atmosphere did not suit me, even the questions I wanted to ask did not come out comfortably So I think this was the shortest consultation among all the places I visited so far! It is not that the clinic is bad, it is just that I personally felt awkward by myself I also booked the consultation because it was one of the places people here said was okay. So I recommend everyone try having a consultation there at least once

Clinic 2 ㅂㅌㅇ
Consultation fee X CT imaging fee X
Surgery time 2 hours
Sedation anesthesia followed by local anesthesia
Day 1 cotton removal Day 7 first stitches Day 12 intranasal stitches
CCTV O
AS within 1 year, inflammation free of charge For inflammation at 2 years, no surgery fee, but material fee, anesthesia fee, etc. are charged
They only do 2 surgeries a day On Wednesdays, they only have afternoon consultations, so they only do 1 surgery a day
3,840,000 won including VAT if writing a partially disclosed review
-Other notes The manager was pretty(?) and really kind The director's consultation was also thorough while looking carefully at the CT, and they used 3D Photoshop? Anyway something like that to Photoshop the expected nose after surgery The consultation atmosphere was comfortable, so my questions came out easily It was not a bad clinic Since they do not charge consultation or CT fees, I think it would be good to visit once when doing in-person consultations?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clinic 3 ㅁㅌ
Consultation fee 10,000 won CT imaging X
Surgery time 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours

-Other notes Famous(?) for consultations being hit-or-miss; they say the director is a fact bomber He tells you exactly what is possible and what is not... lol And there are reviews saying his hands smell like cigarettes I went for a consultation right when they opened, so maybe he had not smoked, but there was no smell... He was not exactly kind, but he was a teacher with a warm, comfortable feeling... They said there is a discount if you book the same day, so if anyone is going for consultations, I recommend going toward the end

Clinic 4 ㅅㅇ
Maybe because it is a famous clinic, it was hard to get an appointment They said new customers could make appointments from July A cancellation slot opened up, so I took vacation and barely made time to go for the consultation
Consultation fee 10,000 won CT imaging fee 20,000 won
There are individual differences, but personally I wanted surgery using the columellar strut method rather than the septal extension graft method So I had been looking for clinics like that
They said ㅅㅇ clinic's surgical method is septal extension graft, so when I said I wanted the columellar strut method, they answered that the columellar strut method is an easy surgery, so many other clinics use it
But when I looked things up online, on YouTube, blogs, etc., many doctors said that the septal extension graft method is usually the easier method, so I was like, huh..?
Surgery time: 2 and a half to 3 hours
Anesthesia method: brief sedation anesthesia + local anesthesia
They take photos during the surgery and show them later They also give explanations before discharge
Medication for about 2 weeks Treatment schedule Day 2 cotton removal Day 7 tape, splint, stitches Day 14 inner stitches 1-month and 3-month follow-ups
Swelling laser
AS part They say there are no cases where it is the clinic's fault For shape-related parts, they said to talk later
4,300,000 won including VAT with consent for partial photo disclosure 4,800,000 won including VAT without consent
Additional 1,700,000 won when using donated costal cartilage (huh?)
-Other notes Personally, this was a clinic I had high expectations for, so I was very disappointed...ㅠㅠ The consultation and CT fees were the most expensive among all my visits, 30,000 won lol But if it had been worth 30,000 won, fine, but I felt the money was such a wasteㅠㅠ The consultation content was generally like, '~~~ has to be done~ It looks easy, but it is hard, so it has to be done well, right?' That kind of style haha
Since I had watched YouTube videos before the consultation, the doctor in the videos looked very warm, but during the actual consultation, he felt difficult to approachㅠㅠ Also, during the first consultation, the manager comes in together, and that made me unnecessarily uncomfortable. I think it was because it felt like a third party was listening to my consultation details
By the time of the director's consultation, my enthusiasm had cooled and I felt this clinic was not a good fit, so I did not ask many questions. So I ended the consultation quickly, went out, and I think I talked more with the manager The manager was kind and good!
Personally it was not for me, but there are many good reviews, so I recommend going at least once
