noitsyou Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Everything is high if you're a foreigner I haven't found quotes for anything lower than 5 million krw for silicone augmentation/ tip plasty/ alar plasty. Some of the bigger clinics like Grand will give you discounts for multiple surgeries but they tend to be overpriced in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocobo124 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi there! I recently had a primary rhino at Grand in Seoul (Oct 12). My doctor was Dr Rhee Se Whan. I decided to share my experience here because he did such an amazing job. It's been 3 weeks since my surgery and my nose looks exactly how I wanted it to look. I was floored when the cast came off. I'd wanted a nose job for years and got a quote from Grand last year. I finally decided to go ahead with it after talking to a Korean girl at my local lash salon. I have to say it was one of the best decisions I've made in my life! The surgery cost 5 million won and having had a quick look at this thread, I think I might've got ripped off but Dr Rhee did such a great job, I don't mind it at all During my consultation which was mostly done over emails, I sent photos (front and side) and what I mainly asked was for my tip to be made narrow/defined and in a straight line with my nasal bridge (it used to be V shaped and looked worse when I smiled). The staff there was very quick with replies (usually I got a reply within the same day). They suggested that I get my small hump removed (the hump didn't bother me as much as the wide tip), augment the bridge (my bridge was quite high for an Asian so I wasn't sure but went ahead with it anyway), get some tip work done so it has a better projection and more definition, reduce the alar base and finally reduce the sides of my nasal bridge by cutting the bones. Long story short, I agreed to whatever they suggested, paid my deposit and flew to Seoul a month later. I had my face to face consultation (it was with a different doctor) and scheduled my surgery for the very next day. When the cast came off, I was floored - I expected a slimmer nose but I didn't expect Dr Rhee would be able to get it this slim and refined! It was the kind of nose I'd always envied and dreamed of. To be honest, I didn't ask too many questions and really have no idea exactly what was done to my nose except that it was an open rhino. I don't even know what material was used to augment the nose >_> But it looks so good I don't care! I remember saying to Dr Rhee right before the surgery, that my main concern was the wide tip and "I understand you might not be able to get it as slim as my bridge, just slim it down as much as you can", and he did! He narrowed both the bridge and the tip and now my nose is perfectly straight with a very defined tip. My profile has also improved significantly due to the straight bridge and better tip projection. And even when I smiled, my nose looked "tiny" When the cast first came off, my upper bridge was wider due to swelling and my tip was more upturned giving me a bit of a "snout" look, 3 weeks later, my bridge has narrowed and my tip has dropped so my nostrils look perfectly normal now. By the way, I also had lateral and lower canthoplasty by Dr Rhee and my eyes look great The only thing I regret now is not getting a chin implant at the same time. During my last check up with Dr Rhee, I asked if I needed a simple chin implant or sliding genioplasty, he said a chin implant would be enough to make my face more harmonious. I might be going back to Korea soon for the chin implant ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitsyou Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Wow, you paid a deposit for surgery even before a face to face consultation/ or visiting other clinics? Is that because Grand requires you to pay a deposit in advance for surgery? It's good to know what material is in your nose and what you've had done just in case you run into complications in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emisa Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Kitty, I went to O&Young to fix my nose within weeks. Fully understand what you are going through. I have contracted nose due to infection. Nose is again going shorter over time and revision is unavoidable. inaddition, bridge is getting lower coz they used Alloderm instead of silicon. As you are using dermis fat, I believed the doc might have warn you that it might be absorbed over time. Please remember to ask the doctor what will he do when the bridge gets lower or the shape changes. Meanwhile, please take care. Thank you very much for keeping us all posted..

thoebee Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Kitty, Read your posts and i share the same sentiments as you. I'm looking for a good nose specialist to do a nose revision and just feel exasperated finding one which has good reviews from real life ppl (not promoters or advertisement etc). If you would be kind enough to share with me your experience please! You can kakaotalk me via the same username thoebee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
