There are no reviews of local products, so I am writing this.
1. Busan Otolaryngology Clinic
- Consultant: Director Kim Moo-geon
- Cost: I don't remember the consultation fee separately because I didn't write it down
- Consultation details
I originally visited the hospital because I was prescribed positive airway pressure here.
I had severe nasal congestion, so I talked about nasal septum surgery, and the director talked about nasal septum, nasal valve, and inferior turbinate surgery.
Overall, the explanation was friendly and it was nice that they used things like 3D photos to give a rough idea of what it would look like after the surgery.
However, he explained in passing that artificial implants (mesh) could also be used, but I didn't know exactly what they were, so I had to search more when I got home.
In the case of mesh material, opinions seem to still be divided among doctors, so it may not be a good choice for those who are sensitive to artificial implants.
The hospital is large and clean. However, when I tried to discuss the cost, the person at the desk said that the surgery details had not been decided yet so I would consult later, but when I went to another hospital, I found out that this hospital was strange. It was my first time receiving CPAP treatment, so even if the initial consultation had gone well, I would have gone ahead with the surgery right away. I think this was a case of missing a patient because of the staff.
2. Samsung Medi ENT Clinic
- Consultant: Director Park Soo-
won - Cost: I don't remember the cost of the consultation because I didn't write it down separately -
-
I visited the hospital because
it came up when you search for the nasal septum. Once I went to the appointment time, I was told to wait a moment because it was a short surgery. I waited for over a minute.
I underwent surgery in an uncomfortable condition, but the director had confidence in the surgery.
However, it seemed like the focus was on cosmetic surgery, security, and functional surgery, and he said he did not recommend nasal valve surgery.
The location was good, but the facilities didn't feel that clean.
3. Co&Ping ENT Clinic
- Consultant: Director Ho-min Lee
- Cost: I don't remember the consultation fee separately because I didn't write it down -
- After consultation number
2, I began to think in earnest about whether hospital number 1 was overly recommending surgery.
The hospital was recently opened, so the facilities were very clean and the director was friendly (he seemed to have opened his own practice after working at another general hospital).
This person also said that septal surgery was necessary, but that there was no need to touch the nasal valve.
There was a separate person giving consultation, and he was wearing a nameplate that said he was a head nurse, and his explanation focused on the inconvenience of entering/discharging rather than the plastic surgery department.
I liked it so much that I thought I should have surgery here if I only wanted to have a purely functional nose surgery. (The cost was also the cheapest)
4. Easysum Otolaryngology
- Consultant: Director Seungju Lee
- Cost: I don't remember the consultation fee because I didn't write it down separately. -
- Consultation details
: I took a CT photo, and it was a bit awkward because another CT photo was taken.
However, the director was very kind and gave the most detailed explanation. I don't have any experience with plastic surgery, so it's a bit burdensome.
As soon as the consultation began, he pointed out my current nose problem and said that I needed cosmetic surgery anyway because the nasal valve stenosis was severe.
He even personally explained the price of the surgery, which I liked.
However, I am hesitant because there are not many reviews.
5. Yun Otolaryngology (for reference only)
- Consultant: ??? Director
- Cost: I don't remember the cost of the consultation because I didn't write it down -
- Consultation details
I couldn't figure out what to do with 2 people doing cosmetic surgery and 2 people doing functional surgery, so I stopped by an ENT clinic that doesn't do surgery on the way home.
The doctor was an old doctor who had been practicing otolaryngology for a long time. He seemed to have worked at a university hospital for a long time,
so he just stopped by to get his opinion from a functional perspective rather than a surgical perspective.
At first, the plastic surgery clinic gave me a strange diagnosis and told me bluntly that they were going to do nasal valve surgery and that they wouldn't write a written opinion. So I was just going to leave, but they said they would look at me for now, so I went to see the doctor.
However, after looking at the nasal endoscopy, he said that he thought it was nasal valve stenosis and that if he wanted to breathe easily, it would be better to have nasal valve correction.
After hearing this story, my doubts that doctors 1 and 4 may have overdiagnosed me in an attempt to get plastic surgery disappeared a little.
In fact, now I am worried about whether I should go all the way to Seoul hospitals.
This is my first post like this, so I don't know if it will have all the information others want. If you have any questions, please leave a comment~
