Review

Byeol 별Overall: 1.6/5Jul 14

I heard that this hospital is famous for doing eye and nose revision surgeries together, so I consulted and even paid a deposit, but in the end my trust broke down and I decided to go elsewhere. Because I have severe rhinitis, I looked for a place that could also do functional nose surgery, and from comments in the forum cafe I was told to consult with Director Ko Guk-jin for the nose and Director Hyung Yong-taek for the eyes, so that is how I proceeded. This is my review of what I went through after consulting in person and then canceling after paying the reservation deposit.

Of the three places I went to for functional nose surgery consultations, this was the one that took the longest and was the most sincere. The other places felt like they were only talking about hopes that it would go well, but this…

For revision surgery (removal of the previous surgery and reconstruction of a saddle nose), other places all said to use autologous costal cartilage, but here they said ear cartilage would be possible. Narrowing of the right internal valve…

Functional nose = success (not even 1 year yet) Cosmetic nose = ruined They couldn't suture properly, so the level difference is severe, and they cut through the middle of the columella, leaving a scar that shows easily. The tip using…

I went in for a consultation because it kept popping up on Instagram and in ads. I already have a naturally low bridge and also rhinitis, so I went in thinking I might do both together, and I consulted with Dr. Go Guk-jin, an ENT…

It seems like Dr. Hong is the one who's good here, but everyone goes to the chief director. This isn't even a clinic specialized in contouring, but I had the 3 contouring procedures, eyes, and nose all done at once by Dr. Hong, and they…

I went for a consultation because I trusted the surgeon's skill, but the manager's attitude felt quite different from other hospitals. How should I put it... the clothes were a gown, but the hair was pinned up casually, the face was in a…
