Hello,

💖your beauty universe! This is Weavers Plastic Surgery :)💖

Hello, I am Dr. Seo Seungjo, head director at Weavers Plastic Surgery.

In today's video, I would like to talk about why cosmetic surgery revisions are endless.

Q: There are still many patients undergoing revision surgeries. Why do revisions keep happening?

Dr. Seo Seungjo: Ultimately, I think it's because the standards have become higher.

​

The standards seen by patients have increased, the standards seen by doctors have increased, and surgical methods have become more diverse.

In the past, people thought it was pretty as long as the nasal bridge was high.

When a nasal bridge implant was inserted, it was considered natural for the silicone to show through,

and people thought, "Isn't this fine too?"

But now....^^ the standards for details have gone up significantly.

​

​

Q: Among rhinoplasty revisions, what is the proportion of revisions done due to side effects or functional problems?

Dr. Seo Seungjo: I think functional issues have decreased a lot.

​

In the past, some people thought it was normal for the nose to be stuffy after rhinoplasty.

There were people who said, "Doesn't the nose get stuffy after surgery? It can't be helped, right?"

​

However, I think the plastic surgery market has now entered its maturation phase (technologically).

Because of this, I believe revision surgeries will gradually decrease, except for those due to dissatisfaction with the shape.

​

Q: From a patient's perspective, how can one avoid revision surgery?

Dr. Seo Seungjo: Do not decide everything on your own!

​

Because there is so much information available, there are cases where patients make unreasonable demands, and some even request specific materials or surgical methods.

However, if sufficient communication takes place, I believe the rate of revision surgeries will decrease.

​

Q: If I need a revision surgery, should I do it at the clinic where I had my first surgery? Or should I go to a different clinic?

Dr. Seo Seungjo: This varies depending on the patient's condition.

​

Cases where you shouldn't do it at the original clinic are when the clinic's style and your aesthetic standards are different,

or if they are too lacking technologically. In such cases, you should go to a different clinic ^^

​

These days, patients who visit often say, "I absolutely do not want to have a revision surgery."

They say this first.

​

To achieve that, first of all, good communication regarding the aesthetic shape is necessary.

Next, regarding the technical aspects,

I hope you would listen a bit more to what the doctors have to say.

Going into surgery with good communication is the way to avoid major revision surgeries,

and if there are simple ways to fix very detailed parts,

I hope you can have a good discussion with the doctors about whether such methods exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the biggest reason for revision rhinoplasty?

The main reason is dissatisfaction with the shape due to higher aesthetic standards. In the past, many people were satisfied with just a higher nose bridge, but now, both patients and doctors have significantly higher detailed aesthetic standards, leading to a higher rate of choosing revision surgery to meet these.

Is the rate of revision rhinoplasty due to functional problems or side effects high?

No, revision surgeries due to functional problems have significantly decreased. As current plastic surgery technology has reached maturity, dissatisfaction with the shape, rather than functional side effects like nasal obstruction, is now the primary reason for revision surgery.

How can patients avoid revision rhinoplasty?

Patients should communicate sufficiently with a specialist to determine the surgical direction. Rather than relying solely on the vast information on the internet and insisting on unreasonable surgical methods or specific materials, it is essential to accept and adjust to the doctor's professional opinion.

Is it better to have revision rhinoplasty at the same hospital where the initial surgery was performed?

It depends on the patient's condition and the approach of the original hospital. If your aesthetic standards do not align with the hospital where you had your first surgery, or if you feel there are technical shortcomings, it may be more advisable to seek revision surgery at a different hospital.
