Hello from Italy, I need some help!

[Gelsomino]

Hello. I am looking to have a rhinoplasty done. I have spoke with doctors locally here in Italy and the cost and time frame is just too expensive!

I am trying to see what my options are elsewhere. Other countries I have checked also quite high but South Korea seems to be very affordable all things considered. 

Is there a way I can get a quote of the cost without having to travel there? Is this something clinics will do? I see averages online but I would like to know what my nose in particular would be estimated to cost so I can save up.

Thanks!

It depends on the clinic. Most state of the art (modern) clinics will offer a consultation online that includes rendering, planning, ect. so you can see what the surgery will look like on your face. That being said, the cost will vary. I would imagine they give you a cost estimate with room for it to be less or more expensive. Without seeing you in person, I doubt they can sign off on a set price. Medical work doesn't work like that.

Yes, the clinic I am booked with did everything online. I was given an estimate with an average cost plus low and high end costs so I could plan to have more if needed. I don'e know the rules of posting about clinics directly on the forum, I will DM you the clinic and you can contact them if you'd like.

Usually in Korea, you will find their prices match the averages you can find online. They are a lot cheaper than other countries and people have easier access to them.

That being said, you will need to work with a clinic and doctor to get an exact cost breakdown and estimate. While you can get averages online, not everyone has the same surgical needs.

Absolutely! Most clinics will give you a price range after doing an online consultation. You'd be surprised how willing and accommodating Korean clinics are for those seeking plastic surgery from other nations.

Thank you everyone! I appreciate the information. 

I am going to have to decide on some clinics and start contacting them. I was not sure how to approach this but everything shared in this thread makes sense. Do the doctors commonly speak with people or do they have staff that does this?

They should all be willing to speak with possible patients. It is a red flag IMO if they don't. But you have to keep in mind that time and schedule factors in here. The doctors are very busy!

Oh right, I didn't think of that. I guess the conversations they have must be scheduled or kept short. Maybe they only do surgeries on certain days and take calls/consultations on other days.

Yes, I have heard of clinics doing that. It is much easier to manage patient needs when you have separate days for what is handled. I wouldn't be shocked if most clinics do this but if they have multiple doctors, people wouldn't notice. As they would always have some doctors doing surgery and others doing appointments.
