First of all, the condition of my nose is that I
have a hooked nose, and the tip is high,
but the bridge of my nose is relatively low. But I don't think the nose itself is big and low, so
I only wanted to improve the hooked nose.
This is my first surgery.
The three places are Apgujeong Station, and the last one is the plastic surgery clinic near Dosan Park Intersection. I'm home!
1. ㅇㄱㅈㅅ*
This is an entire building that is a hospital.
It is a large hospital.
Because it is a large hospital, there are many directors, but
I received a consultation from a director who is famous for rhinoplasty.
There was no consultation fee.
The consultation with the director
lasted about 30 minutes, and the consultation with the director lasted about 15 minutes.
Both of them were friendly, but the director came in right after the surgery, so I was a little tired. You could see it
, but he explained it kindly.
He said that he had to sharpen the beak and put silicone in
. I told him that he had no intention of putting silicone in, but
he said no, so he had to put it in at least a thin layer...
And he said that after rearranging the cartilage at the tip of the nose, I should use a septum support
because the septum is harder than the ear cartilage. Stability? I think he said
he preferred the nasal septum to the ear cartilage, which has an irregular shape. He
did not recommend any additional surgery, and said that even though it
would be a hooked nose, the surgical outcome would be good. Since a hooked nose is something that only happens when the nose is high, usually people with hooked beaks do not put silicone in. There are many cases, but in my case,
the bridge of the nose was low
compared to the tip of the nose , so they said that it had to be inserted at all costs. Overall, it was nice and friendly, but because it was a large hospital, it felt like a factory-type surgery, and it had no personality and was out of
place. I didn't feel like I had to do it here.
And if the director would see me off, He made a pretentious comment saying that he thought we would definitely be able to see each other again, that he thought he would have surgery here, and that the director said he would take
care of him... I felt a little antipathy here
. Oh, and he called me a few days after the consultation... Ha... I I didn't answer because I knew the number, but it was probably a call asking when I was going to have surgery, right? It was very burdensome.
The price was in the mid 2 million won range.

The first two letters are English and the last three letters are the director's name. An
acquaintance of mine recommended this place and said he was satisfied after surgery, so I went there.
The consultation fee was 10,000 won and it is smaller than the hospital in number 1 and is located in the corner of Apgujeong Station.
Still, it has been open for 10 years. It was over and there were no accidents.
The director here is also kind and nice.
The consultation with the director lasted about 20-25 minutes.
The consultation with the director lasted about 30 minutes.
The director is very confident and pursues safety precautions.
When I said I didn't like silicone, he said he would just remove the hooked beak and not put silicone in.
The doctor insisted on putting silicone in the hooked beak no matter what. I heard that they didn't sharpen the beak properly and tried to cover it with silicone.
The tip of the nose was repositioned with cartilage, set up as a support using the septum, and cut in.
I have a high nose tip, so I thought I wouldn't have to do it,
but I was a bit surprised that all 1.2 hospitals told me to do a nose tip.
They said they
would give it to me, and I was worried because osteotomy is a bit of a major surgery,
but the director said
that a hooked nose is always an osteotomy. However, he said he didn't put cotton in my nose to stop the bleeding during the surgery. That was really good. The before and after
photos were so dramatic that I was really shocked. But it was because it
was an osteotomy, so the price was reasonable. This... was burdensome.
The price was in the mid 3 million won range.

This is also a place with the director's name on it, and is located at Exit 2 of Apgujeong Station.
Likewise, it has been open for more than 15 years and is small in scale.
This place is unusual in that rhinoplasty is done with a plaster cast on the table. The
consultation fee is 5,000 won.
Consultation time is 40-50 won per consultation with the director. After that
, there was about 10 minutes of consultation with the manager.
I had a consultation with the director first, and after that, the director gave me a brief summary.
When I went here, it was interesting because he said something completely different from the hospitals
I had been to up to this point . Basically, he said that I needed to change the corners of my nose and put silicone in.
The tip of my nose was high, so they would only rearrange the cartilage and not put in any additional cartilage. He said
that since my face is a little asymmetrical, the silicone needs to be inserted at an angle (this is the first time I heard about asymmetry)
and he explained in detail why I need to put the silicone in.
My nose may look high now, but after the corners are removed, it won't be like mine now. He said that it will be lower than it is now, but if I leave it that way, my face will become flat and strange,
and that there is no need for an osteotomy.
Osteotomy is a major surgery, so there is no other method other than osteotomy, or
it is a method often used by people who have revision surgery.
From the first surgery, they said there was no need to go that far.
Here too, they came out to stop the bleeding and pursued a natural nose without using cotton.
The price is in the low 3 million won range.

This place is also near Apgujeong, but it's not near the station. If I were to be specific, it's near the Dosan Park intersection. The
name of the hospital here is also the name of the director
. I heard that this is a place where many celebrities go.
When I searched, there was no website and there were many people saying that the director only insists on his own method. I was scared, but there was no consultation fee, so I went there thinking I would experience it.
The interior of the hospital was really well-decorated, like a luxury house. As soon as I walked in, my mouth dropped.
This place is also small.
There was only one counselor at the counter.
Even though I made a reservation, I waited for over an hour.
I heard that the surgery for the morning operator would be longer... no, I thought it would take an hour longer because of how delayed the surgery was, but it was a
waste to come all the way back, so
I waited. There was no consultation with the director, so I consulted with the director right away.
The consultation time was about 15 minutes.
First of all, the director speaks very quickly and only says what he
has to say. He doesn't ask if you want a nose
or anything like that. He doesn't even take pictures of the condition. First of all, the director has a very strong sense of pride, so if you're going to do what I want, do the surgery or don't do it. This is
what sets him apart from other doctors. That
doesn't mean he's unkind,
and he recommended various things besides nose surgery.
He said they would sharpen the beak, put silicone on the bridge of the nose, and put something in the tip of the nose, but I don't remember. It was
n't ear cartilage or nasal septum, it was something else...
Anyway, I went with the basics and had the noble surgery. They told me to do an additional surgery (it's a surgery to pull up the bridge of the nose)
and that the reason the surgery takes so long is because they consider aesthetics more than other doctors and perform the surgery delicately.
This hospital's style is something I have to completely trust and leave to the doctor.
It's not bad. That's not true, it's just not my style...
And as I heard in the rumor, the price is very outrageous.
The price is in the low 7 million won range.
To summarize,
price: No. 1 < No. 3 < No. 2 < No. 4
Surgery time: No. 1.2.3 2 to 2.5 hours / No. 4 3 hours or more
Hospital size: No. 4 < No. 3 = No. 2 < No. 1
4 I've only been to a few places, but what I felt after getting it done
is that it's best to have the surgery done at a hospital that
can best reflect the nose shape you want.
Most people who undergo revision rhinoplasty
say it's not because of side effects, but because they're dissatisfied with the shape.
The reviews are good. A place recommended by an acquaintance may be trustworthy, but
no matter how good it is, if it doesn't match what you want,
you'll regret it..!!
I hope my post was of some help.
Thank you for reading this long post ^_^
