Before your consultation
Questions often asked in the consulting room
We have written down only the questions that really come up in the consulting room. We did not try to keep the answers short.
Can I come for a consultation only?
Can I come for a consultation only?
Yes. That is what the consultation is for. We do not recommend booking on the day of the consultation; we would rather you take the explanation home, think it over, and then decide.
Does the doctor see me in person?
Does the doctor see me in person?
The doctor conducts both the consultation and the treatment. There is no separate consultation staff.
Why are there no before-and-after photos?
Why are there no before-and-after photos?
The Medical Service Act restricts advertising that could mislead about treatment outcomes, and we believe results vary from person to person in ways a single photograph cannot convey. Instead, we have written in detail about the recovery process and what may remain afterwards.
You are an ENT specialist. Do you perform rhinoplasty?
You are an ENT specialist. Do you perform rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a field that otolaryngology and plastic surgery have long shared. The doctor subspecialised in rhinology (鼻科) within otolaryngology and trained at the rhinology department of Stanford University School of Medicine and the Facial Plastic Surgery Center at UC Davis. That is why we look at the function and the form of the nose together.
