Hi,
i shaved my hump and did septum cartilage on tip.
I wouldn't say is bad or good. please do not expect top notch service from them.
The doctor was so busy that he didn't have much time to sit down and consult you in details. I had pre-consultation with their in-house translator whom I told them what i want to be done on my nose. i only had like 10 mins consultation with Dr kim before my surgery and he was in surgery gown, he probably came out from one of his on-going surgery.

I feel the nurse were a bit rough, when i went to remove my cast , they just pull it off and for a moment i thought my nose goes slanted . i saw youtube video how carefully the doctor removed the cast but in ITEM they just rips it off.

and after-surgery inquires can take quite long to get their response, i emailed them regarding slight bleeding and soreness around my nose and it took them 3 days to reply me and took another 5 days to get answer from the doctor. If it's serious, i'd have died

All in all, i'm still happy , cos i feel my nose looks much better compare to the last time.

which surgery are you going for?

 

Hi,
For locals it seems like a ridiculous amount to pay.
however, for foreigners it's around that price.
i shaved my hump and did septum cartilage on tip cost below 4 mil KRW at ITEM which is shocking amount to my korean friend.

I asked a few clinics before i decided to go ITEM as it seems one of the cheaper price

Here is what Dreams medical quoted
"Closed rhinoplasty costs around 3,932,000won, and it seems that you may need rasping, as well, which costs around 786.500won" which comes up to be around 5 mil.

For JW plastic surgery
Humpectomy(to make your nose straight without hump)+Alar reduction+Tip Plasty(by using of your nose or ear cartilage) costs around 7 mil KRW.

 

i think all the korean clinics charge much much higher to Foreigners.
I told the amount i paid for my rhino and my korean friend was shocked.
I paid 4 mil won and she said that her sister did it last week and only cost 2 mil for rhino!
ITEM is one of the lowest price already. i asked other clinics and they all quoted me aroudn 6~7 mil won. SHOCKING!

 

Hi,
i was asked to pay 500 (singapore dollors) deposit to book the surgery slot. my surgery cost about 4 mil and i did transfer to their Singapore account. It's all fine, don't worry.
and later the deposit was deducted from the final surgey amount though the exchange rate they used was like ****. ( it was 840 won = 1sgd on the market and , ITEM only gave 760 won=1sgd) .

hi , that's weird. mine was removed on 2nd day. The nurse told me i might need to put one more day in if I still bleed a lot but it was all fine, so i got it remove on 2nd day. maybe your friends experienced excessive bleeding.

 

I just had rhinoplasty at ITEM with Dr Kim 3 weeks ago. I removed my hump and fixed my droppy tip.
I'm liking my new nose now. I mean my old nose was in a really bad shape , so compare to my old nose , i'm quite pleased with the current one.
my tip is still swelling a lot , so it looks kinda huge from the front view. but my side profile is straight now and which i'm really excited about.

However, nose recovery take up to a year, so i don't know what exactly my nose would look like after 6-12 months when all the healing and swelling are done.

But right now i'm a happy patient.

Dr kim was nice but he seems to be very busy. i only had a brief consultation with him and he was in his surgery attire, so i think he came out half-way from his on-going surgery.
