First, it's worth remembering that your true final result isn't visible until around the one-year mark, so early dissatisfaction — particularly in the first few months — is often about swelling and settling still in progress, not the actual final outcome. Discussing your concerns with Dr. Kim during a follow-up, in person or via video, is always the right first step.
If, once truly healed, there's a genuine concern about the outcome, Dr. Kim will evaluate whether it's something that can be addressed and discuss realistic options with you honestly — which sometimes means revision surgery once enough time has passed for a safe and accurate evaluation, and sometimes means an honest conversation about what's achievable from here.
Consultation Tip
If something feels off during your recovery, don't wait until your final follow-up to mention it — reach out on WhatsApp as concerns come up, so Dr. Kim can track your healing pattern over time rather than assessing everything at once at the end.
