I live outside Seoul, so I set aside a whole day and went for hospital consultations.
But it’s my first surgery, and the prices were higher than I expected, so I was a bit taken aback...
Hospital 1: autologous rib cartilage 5.19 million won, donated rib cartilage 3.90 million won?
Hospital 2: autologous rib cartilage 4.00 million won, donated rib cartilage 4.20 million won
Hospital 3: donated rib cartilage 4.40 million won
At some hospitals, autologous rib cartilage is more expensive, and at others, donated rib cartilage is more expensive ㅡㅡ;;; The surgical methods differ by hospital... All three places had nose designs that were kind of similar... I like Hospital 3, but Hospitals 1 and 2 said to do silicone 2–2.5, while only Hospital 3 said around 3–4... After going, I’m even more confused.
Oh, all the hospitals are single-surgeon clinics and are fairly well known for revision surgery. But for me, it’s my first surgery. Is this price right??
