Revision Rhinoplasty

How does Dr. Kim evaluate a case before agreeing to revision surgery?

Published

Outcomes and side effects vary from person to person. Bleeding, infection, swelling and asymmetry may occur. Please consult our medical team before making a decision.

As a revision rhinoplasty specialist in Korea, Dr. Kim's evaluation starts with understanding your full surgical history — what was done, when, and with what materials — combined with a 3D CT scan to see the current internal nasal structure clearly, and a physical examination of your skin, remaining cartilage, and any scar tissue.

From there, Dr. Kim identifies the underlying cause of your current concern, not just its visible symptom, and honestly assesses whether your revision goals are realistically achievable given your remaining anatomy — including being direct if a particular request would require more tissue or structural support than is available.

Consultation Tip

Come prepared to discuss not just what you don't like about your current result, but what specifically changed between your original expectations and the actual outcome — this distinction helps guide a more precise revision plan.

What follows is general guidance. The actual cause and surgical approach are decided only after an internal examination, a CT scan and a review of your previous surgical history.
