Plastic Surgery
Revision plastic surgery in Korea, starting with an honest second opinion
Revision plastic surgery in Korea starts with paperwork, not a scalpel. A second operation is harder than the first: scar tissue, less cartilage, tighter skin. A surgeon who does revisions every week will want your old records, your photos from before the first surgery, and enough time since the last operation. Sometimes the honest answer is wait, or do less. Your KCODI interpreter makes sure you hear that answer clearly, and helps you get a second one.

Market estimate, not a quote. Your written quote comes after a free consultation.
- Most surgeons want 6–12 months between the last operation and a revision, so the tissue has settled.
- Bring everything: operation records, implant details, photos before and after each surgery.
- Plan 7–14 days and about five visits. Revisions take longer in theatre and often longer to heal.
What she does on your clinic day
Before you fly
She collects your records and photos and sends them to two or three revision surgeons. You see their written opinions side by side before buying a ticket.
At the consultation
She translates the uncomfortable parts in full: what can be improved, what probably cannot, and what the surgeon would refuse to do.
Surgery and recovery
She is with you on surgery day and at every check. If rib or ear cartilage was taken, she tracks that wound too.
Stay in Korea
Before travel
Remote record review
Photos, records and your description go to the surgeons. You get opinions and rough plans in writing.
Day 1
In-person consultation and CT
The surgeon examines scar tissue and skin. The plan can change once they see and feel the area.
Day 2–3
Surgery
Two to five hours under general anesthesia. Revision noses often use your own rib or ear cartilage.
Day 4–7
Checks
Dressing changes and a close watch on skin circulation, which matters more in operated tissue.
Day 7–14
Stitches out, clearance
Timing depends on the area. Swelling after a revision lasts longer than after a first surgery.
Typical price in Seoul
Revisions cost more than first-time surgery because they take longer and often need your own cartilage or removal of old material. The quote depends on what the surgeon finds in your records and CT. If this is your first operation, the rhinoplasty and double eyelid surgery pages are the right starting point.
- Your nose implant has shifted, shows through the skin, or the tip has dropped or tightened
- Your eyelid creases are uneven, too high, or have loosened
- You have asymmetry or a contour problem after a previous operation, in Korea or elsewhere
- You want two or three independent opinions before anyone operates again
