Hospital name: Sunplus Director: Director Seo Consultation fee: 10,000 won First of all, my nose is on the small side and a bit upturned, so my nostrils show quite a bit. For the first surgery, silicone and ear cartilage were used. The consultation was surprisingly not that long, and he said that because my nose is small, he wouldn't be able to make the area under the nose extend very long. I wanted a glamorous look, but he said my skin was too thin and the tip of my nose was too small, so there wasn't much he could do. Materials: ear cartilage, silicone, septal cartilage, donated rib cartilage The manager kept strongly pushing for same-day booking, so I already felt like I didn't want to do it here. He kept saying it had to be today or this price wouldn't be possible, so I just left. 2 Hospital name: Just Director: Director Guk Consultation fee: 10,000 won Materials: ear cartilage, septal cartilage, silicone; if the nose is small and donated rib cartilage is needed during surgery, they use it I got a CT scan and waited a bit before going in. He explained the surgery method in quite a bit of detail, and what stood out was that he explained it by drawing over the CT images. So I could get a sense of the before-and-after side view. Since he specializes in noses, when I showed him the photos I wanted, he gave feedback on whether they suited my face or not. I also remember that he explained everything together with the alar base. The manager did not push for same-day booking and just had a comfortable conversation with me. I got the price estimate and left with a business card. 3 DM Director Lee Juhong Consultation fee: free I arrived late, so the consultation was not very long. I got a CT scan and there was not much waiting. The consultation was similar. But because my nose is small, he said there was no need to use septal cartilage, and since a sturdy support structure would be better, donated rib cartilage and ear cartilage alone would be enough. He explained while drawing. He said that if I wanted a more glamorous look, it would be better to raise the bridge of the nose a bit more. The manager had a quiet personality, and after the price consultation I took a business card and left. 4 Ahn Plastic Surgery, a single-doctor clinic Director Ahn Consultation fee: free Unusually, the CT scanner was in a seated chair type. There was not much waiting. They showed a graphic video of the surgery process on a monitor. They explained what would be included in the surgery method. They also explained the nasolabial angle. Since it was a single-doctor clinic, the aftercare seemed good. 5 Honesty, a single-doctor clinic There is one director here. There was a little waiting because surgery had not finished yet. The place used by a trans YouTuber, refer to XXxxxx. Because my nose is small, they said it would not be dramatic and that there would not be much difference from the front. They said only the side profile would change a bit, but the viewpoint would shift toward the tip of the nose. They said the main focus would be lowering the bridge and lowering the tip of the nose. It felt like they were improving what was uncomfortable first rather than focusing on aesthetics. They said I would not be able to get a glamorous look because my skin is thin, does not easily stretch, and my nose is small... They also did a nasal endoscopy and checked the skin at the tip of the nose. The surgery method was similar. It was the only place that spoke so honestly, so while I was getting the consultation, I even thought, nothing really changes for me, so why am I paying this much to do this...? lol The manager is proactive. The price is on the expensive side, but they try to match it. For aftercare, since it is a single-doctor clinic, the director handles everything, and there is a swelling laser. 6 TS Director Lee Seungchan Consultation fee: free I had been here before a long time ago, so this was my second visit. When I showed the photo I wanted, they gave feedback. I think he has his own style for noses. The surgery method was similar. He did not just look at my nose; he looked at my whole face lol I could ask anything I wanted. The manager talked about negotiating for same-day booking, and the price range was the highest of the six places.
After visiting six places, the surgery methods were all more or less similar. The reason the entries get shorter toward the end is that they were similar. The materials were all the same too. To sum up, subjectively... Cheapest place for donated rib cartilage: Just Expensive donated rib cartilage places: DM, Honesty, TS At the current promotional price, the place most similar if using only ear cartilage and silicone: Just, DM The place that talked about the alar base angle during the consultation: Just, Ahn The AS period was mostly similar: 1 year The place that said 2 years: Honesty I have already scheduled my surgery. I won’t say where. It is one of the six places, and I will leave a surgery review afterward. I hope this helps even a little..
