Overview
Revision surgery is different from simply repeating the first operation. It is usually planned only after reviewing what materials were used previously, how much scar tissue or adhesion is present, what the condition of the skin and soft tissue is like, and how stable the current nasal structure remains. In Korean plastic surgery clinics, revision consultations are often requested not only because of dissatisfaction with shape, but also because of asymmetry, structural instability, tip drooping, contracture, or breathing discomfort. Even though many cases are grouped under the same term, the actual approach and difficulty can vary greatly depending on the underlying cause. That is why thorough consultation and structural assessment are especially important. The main goal is not just to change the surface appearance again, but to understand why the issue developed and redesign the nose in a more stable and natural direction within the limits of the current anatomy.
