1. ㅍㄹㅁㅇ - Consultation fee of 10,000 won
Cost: Low 6 million won to high 5 million won range
Wait: I had heard a lot that the wait here was long, but it was seriously beyond imagination.. I think I waited over an hour. My butt hurt.
Diagnosis: Silicone 3.5 mm + bulbous nose correction + no need for osteotomy, only correction by rasping down the nasal bridge a bit + both donated costal cartilage and autologous costal cartilage can be used
Consultation: After all that waiting, the director’s consultation felt like it ended in 5 minutes Still, they held the nose line with a cotton swab and did everything they needed to do.
Overall: This was the first place I went for a consultation, so I hadn’t decided on my questions, and maybe that’s why the consultation felt like it ended even faster For anyone going for a consultation, I recommend setting aside plenty of time and deciding on your questions beforehand.. I heard that if you keep asking questions, they give you a longer consultation.
2. ㅇㅇㅂ - No consultation fee
Cost: Low to mid 5 million won range
Wait: It was definitely super quick until I got the CT and met the consultant.. but then I waited 40 minutes and met the director^^ Maybe because I didn’t request a specific one
Diagnosis: Silicone 5 mm + hump osteotomy + columella lengthening + autologous costal cartilage
Consultation: The consultant spoke way too fast The director’s consultation wasn’t bad, but I don’t think it was particularly memorable either.
Overall: Autologous costal cartilage really is expensive.. I also heard the price for donated costal cartilage, but they recommended autologous costal cartilage Still, the hospital is very spacious and there are lots of staff.
3. ㅂㄴㄴ - No consultation fee
Cost: Mid to high 4 million won range
Wait: Since I had waited a long time at the previous places, I settled in and was looking at my phone (forbidden word lol), but they called me quickly. It felt like 5 minutes?
Diagnosis: Silicone 5 mm + hump + bulbous nose correction + donated costal cartilage
Consultation: This time I went with some questions prepared, and maybe because of that, I think this consultation was the longest. Everyone was kind, and they designed my nose on an iPad.
Overall: They said they don’t use ear cartilage here. The banana logos here and there in the interior were cute.
For now, I went to all three because I looked at their before-and-after photos and they were my style. Considering everything, including the consultation, diagnosis, and cost, I think ㅂㄴㄴ seems the best, so I’ll probably end up doing it at ㅂㄴㄴ. Has anyone here had surgery there???
