Clinic visit notes Clinic visit notes I got permission to record it so I could organize everything, but I think it would be better to just write it down right away Congenital nose - first surgery, thick skin, a fleshy nose; the tip is larger than the alae, so it feels like a big nose, has a hump, the original nose is on the high side but the tip droops so it looks long, and the columella is recessed What I want - frontal slimness, hump removal, shorter-looking nose, columella correction, straight line I want no implant. This is just for my own records, so if anyone from the clinics is bothered, please contact me.. Almost every clinic followed this order: coordinator consultation (desired points) > consultation with the surgeon > coordinator again (price, other questions). * Dr. ㅍㄹㅇㅂ_ㅇㅈㅎ - Took photos before going in and looked at them together during the consultation. Taking the photos felt very embarrassing lol, headband - Seems to prefer a more glamorous look - Explained things while drawing. But I did not like the drawing they made. - Recommended osteotomy, silicone, alar reduction, and lowering the columella - I said I wanted to avoid implants, but they said if I did that, there would be no frontal effect, satisfaction would be lower, and I would end up needing revision surgery. - They firmly said CCTV would not be allowed - Base 5.28 million / +1.10 million if rib cartilage is added = 6.38 million * Dr. ㅇㅂㄹ_ㄱㄷㅇ - CT scan before going in, but consultation fee is free - The doctor was very cheerful and kind. I liked the consultation content, so I felt very drawn to this place, but if the result turned out badly I think I would be twice as sad, so I am still thinking - When I looked at the CT images, my nose seemed extremely crooked compared to the CT I saw elsewhere He said that even if the crookedness were corrected a bit, some of it would still remain - I brought reference photos, but they firmly said no. lol. A cute little nose is not possible, there will not be a dramatic change, but disliked areas can be improved. - They recommended against osteotomy because it would sink in compared to the tip (I agree; my nose tip and alae are too bulky, so if I had osteotomy I was worried the bridge would be thin but the tip would still be thick, making a triangular nose). They also said alar reduction was not recommended because it would not turn out pretty (I agree). - No osteotomy x, slightly reduce the hump, make a soft line without curves, slightly bring out the columella, refine the alae, alar reduction not recommended, use fascia from behind the ear to fill depressed lines, tip shape with ear cartilage and septal cartilage - They noticed that when I look at people I tend to slightly lift my face and look downward at them (kind of like looking down on them?) and said the nostril angle would need to be adjusted in surgery. I was surprised by how observant they were - They said correcting a deviated septum would not improve this nose - No breathing problems x \ - If a guardian is present, CCTV in the operating room can be viewed live, but no recording can be provided - 1 year aftercare/warranty - Sleep anesthesia - They said they would provide post-op care, swelling injections, and various other things, but I do not remember clearly.. haha Dr. ㅈㅇ_ㅅㅁㄱ - Very professor-like, explained very well - Took photos and showed them on a screen in the room. Explained the surgery method using a computer. - Osteotomy, shave the hump, lift the tip, alar reduction - CCTV recording not allowed, but live viewing possible if a guardian accompanies - 1 year aftercare/warranty - 5.23 million > model discount + cash discount = 3.90 million Dr. ㅋㅇㅍㄹㅅ_ㄱㅅㅇ - Professor-like. When I went in, he stared intently at me first and touched my nose. He kept touching it this way and that, and I felt sorry that it might get oil on his hands.. - He explained the surgery method and even brought a book to show me. Wow haha - He recommended osteotomy, but when I said I was worried the proportions might not match, he said then we would not do osteotomy, but shave the hump, and because there could be a hollow between the tip and the hump, he recommended processed artificial dermis, and recommended putting ear cartilage on the tip. Whether to do alar reduction would be decided after seeing it during surgery. - He explained the possible downsides in detail: 1. The hump may not be shaved enough 2. There may be a hollow between the tip and the hump (he said to fill it with dermis) 3. The alae may not be gathered as much as desired - 8.03 million > 6.40 million after various discounts / +1.32 million if alar surgery is done later - CCTV viewing not allowed; they do not show it unless there is a problem - He said that because they would do local anesthesia after sleep anesthesia, there was no need to worry about a shadow doctor issue - 1 year free aftercare, then 50% discount afterward - Aftercare: disinfection and swelling checks; only two surgeries per day Dr. ㅇㅈ_ㅇㅇㅈ - Met the surgeon directly without a coordinator consultation - The doctor took photos right away, pointed out the problems, and Photoshopped them in front of me. I liked the retouched photos, but I wondered whether it could really turn out like that - He said this was not a nose surgery focused on making it shorter or longer. - Recommended alar reduction and no implant; when lowering the columella, he would likely use a mix of ear cartilage and septal cartilage for the tip. He recommended osteotomy, but when I said I did not want it even if it meant accepting more width, he said that was fine too - I really liked the side view, but in every before-and-after photo they showed, the frontal view seemed to change only slightly - The woman in the waiting room had a nose that was really, really, really pretty, and I wanted to ask whether she had it done there. - Swelling-removal laser 2 sessions, 3 years free aftercare. - Discounted price with various discounts: 5.70 million, +0.50 million if osteotomy is done Dr. ㄱㅇㅈ_ㄱㅇㅈ - Very professor-like. I was about 10 minutes late, so the consultation felt rushed - The nose is crooked, but not severely, so no osteotomy; just shaving, gathering the alae, alar reduction, tip lift (ear cartilage), and lowering the columella, though that might not go well. They said nasolabial angle surgery would cut the drooping when smiling. ***Did we decide on alar reduction? I don't really remember ㅡㅡ - I was moved that, among points I thought were difficult and that several clinics also said were difficult, they clearly said “I can’t do that.” They immediately said no to the parts that were hard to accept - They showed me their own blog and told me to look at it. ㅍㅎ - 4.50 million if paying cash, no review event or anything. I want to know the reviews... Everyone, please give me some reviews for ㄱㅇㅈ - 1 year aftercare, no CCTV. But they said because they would use sleep anesthesia and then operate while I was awake 5 minutes later, I did not need to worry Dr. ㅁㄱ_ㄱㅇㅌ - I waited an hour, then the coordinator explained the price event/discount. After waiting an hour and getting a 10-minute consultation, I felt a little numb, but the before-and-after photos and reviews from this clinic were really, really appealing, so for some reason I was drawn to it.. - When I said I would be recording to organize everything, they firmly said no. I got scared and just said yes.. and took notes during the consultation. They seemed a little tired during the consultation... - If they are not kind during the consultation, so what? As long as the surgery goes well, is not that what matters? But I did worry whether, if something went wrong, they would really listen to what I said - They recommended osteotomy, but I do not want it; even if I accept the risk of a slightly remaining hump, I am choosing not to do it. If they did it, they said it would be a weak osteotomy. They did not recommend alar reduction, probably because it could create an 11-shaped nose. They said they would only gather the alae, remove fat, and use both septal cartilage and ear cartilage to lift the tip. - The doctor looked inside my nose with a headlamp? - 3.85 million - The coordinator explained things well first. For anesthesia, they said sleep anesthesia, and if I move they may switch to gas anesthesia; they will do blood tests and so on. Side effects include inflammation, bleeding, swelling, and bruising. If inflammation occurs within 2 years, I would only pay the anesthesia fee and they would do revision surgery. Open method surgery Honestly, I am about 80% decided, but I want to visit other clinics too, so everyone with a nose similar to mine, please recommend clinics.,,,
