Revision Rhinoplasty
When is the best time for rhinoplasty revision?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is best to perform it 6 months after the previous surgery. This is because the tissues stabilize and soften after about 6 months. However, depending on the state of inflammation or infection, earlier surgery may be necessary, so a consultation with a specialist is required.

Will another revision surgery be needed?
Dr. Dongil ChoiTo prevent the need for additional surgeries, we precisely analyze the cause of the previous surgery's failure and the current state of the nose, and select the appropriate surgical method. The head doctor, who has abundant experience in rhinoplasty revision, personally performs the surgery.
