There are nose photos and a shortlist from online research in my previous post, so anyone who wants can refer to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Summary for people in a hurry> Typical low nose Silicone for the nasal bridge, ear cartilage + fascia for the nasal tip 3.8 million KRW (VAT included) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Hospital: ㄱㅇㅈ (ㄱㅇㅈ) -Quiet and not many people -Red old-style interior, cozy feeling
2. Consultation process: Fill out chart -> consultation with director (about 10 minutes) -> consultation with surgical assistant (about 5 minutes, cost) -I didn’t really have anything to ask
2-1. Consultation with director -First impression: a hidden master, overseas-educated, who values tradition (<- This is purely my own assumption, and I’m just stating that this is the impression I got~) -Personality: relaxed atmosphere. Like, a nose like this isn’t anything particularly difficult? kind of vibe -The director took the photos himself
2-2. Diagnosis and surgery 1) Do I have an upturned nose? For a woman, it’s average
2) Low nasal bridge -Silicone 3 mm... anything more than that is “no” -He also brought out 2.5, but said that’s “what is used classically.” Seems like he really pursues an extremely natural look -After silicone is inserted, it will settle lower over time (of course) -He didn’t ask me to send photos
3) Nasal tip -Raise it with ear cartilage -Fill the columella with fascia from behind the ear -The columella is originally short, so it can’t be built up very high -He didn’t say things like bulbous nose or columellar retraction
4) Do I have a crooked nose? It’s within the normal range
5) Other diagnosis -My nose is small -Your skin is oily (yes.....)
3. Consultation with surgical assistant -Consultation manager x surgical assistant o -No pressure to pay a deposit
3-1. Cost (VAT included): 3.8 million KRW
3-2. Surgery time: usually 1.5 to 2 hours
4. Aftercare -Visits on days 1, 4, 5, 7, and 14, total 5 visits -AS 1 year: if a surgical problem occurs, it usually appears between 6 months and 1 year But if you come after 1 year and need revision surgery, additional costs may occur ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New record for shortest consultation time, lowest price, and lowest silicone height! There are no reviews, and it’s a mysterious place with lots of word-of-mouth, but from the consultation alone I didn’t really gain any particular insight(?). But I guess they’ll show it through the surgical result?
Anyway, seeing that they recommend 3 mm here too, my nose must be quite low. But hearing “you need at least 4.5” and “anything over 3 is not allowed”... makes me think about what kind of nose I actually want. Did I want a natural improvement from “my very low nose”? Or did I want “a nose at a height that is generally considered natural on average”? There’s no right answer between the two, but I’ll need to think carefully.
