  1. Asymmetry:
    You are correct. Your jaw is in a different orientation which is causing everything from cheekbones, lips, and nose to look asymmetrical. Your jaw isn't wide but it's definitely not narrow. The cause does not seem to be an overgrowth of the masseter muscle or buccal fat so surgery is the only option. Yes, V-line + jaw surgery is 100% worth checking out (It seems like you had lip fillers? Make sure you do the calculation with fillers off.).

    Nose:
    You do not need alar reduction. It's already in alignment with the corner of your eyes. Your nostrils are fine. This level of asymmetry is present in everyone. Your nose looks crooked because your face is crooked. If you want rhinoplasty, I recommend raising the nasal tip instead + jaw surgery. This is because your nasal tip is slightly low and this will also make your nose very straight while the jaw surgery ameliorates some asymmetry. Widening of the alar when smiling can be fixed with botox.

    Chin augmentation:
    No
    . You are not a male. Having a slightly shorter chin is okay, rather it is the ideal. If you get implants, you will get a long face and make your forehead look small.

    Conclusion:
    Jaw surgery or/and v-line: Yes
    Nasal tip: Optional
    Nostril reduction/alar reduction: No
    Eyes: Optional
    Chin augmentation: No
     
  2. The human body has structural limitations so some designs are not possible/risky. Also, depending on the person's face, the ideal nose can look terrific or terrible.
    You need to figure out why they are deviating from what you want. Normally, there is a good reason as most plastic surgeons know these surgeries are mostly about self-satisfaction. If a surgeon is willing to do 100% exactly what I say and never challenge/warn/recommend, I wouldn't go there. It's a collaborative process.
    But the deviation can also be a sign of a surgeon not willing to listen. You gotta figure out which one it is.
     
  3. Surgeons tend to offer the materials they are most comfortable with + personal beliefs (e.g. some surgeons really dislike foreign materials so will use them as a last resort). It also depends on what you mean by 100% -- is the tip being done? In other words, this isn't necessarily that strange depending on what kind of surgery you are requesting.

    To say autologous is "way much better" is false. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19917899
    Furthermore, considering this was published in 2009 and quality control for donated cartilage has improved since then, I would say donated rib cartilage is slightly inferior.

    Donated rib cartilage, however, appears to be inferior when it comes to the dorsal extension. https://parjournal.net/article/view/2959
    I don't mean to be pedantic but some people really hate scars on their body (with some women it isn't too terrible because the incision can be made at the breast crease line).
    So I want them to make sure they are getting scientifically accurate information in order to make an informed decision.
     
  4. Banobagi, View, and DA, none of them are famous for rhinoplasty in Korea.
    DA is expensive probably because they advertise a lot on the subway and buses.

    The general rule in Korea is small specialized clinics > large hospitals.
    This is because highly skilled surgeons go independent by opening private clinics which also saves on advertisement fees because they are already famous. (e.g. one of the most famous private rhinoplasty clinics has a waiting list of 3 months for consultation). Translations service, however, may not always be the best in these small clinics. So, big hospitals aren't necessarily a bad choice. Especially if your procedure is pretty simple.
     
  5. 1) Cadaver is cheaper but it's kind of a gamble: you may get a weak or really sturdy bone. So, if you're older or have weak bones, the cadaver is the way to go. It should be noted, however, cadaver's quality control has increased a lot.
    Therefore, both are fine materials. If money is not that important, and you don't mind the scarring on your ribs, autologous is the best choice but it isn't overwhelmingly superior. It's just a bit better.

    2) I think it's like extra 2-3k? for extraction.

    3) I can't comment on VIP. It's one of the large hospitals. I walked past it like 50 times but never went in. None of the clinics that are popular here are famous amongst Korean locals. Probably something related to the language barrier. It's also hard to comment on large hospitals because there are multiple surgeons and many highly skilled ones go independent after some years.
