Common Traits of People Who Have Failed Facial Contouring Surgery

Hello. I’m Director Jo Hyun-woo of Ipcheok Plastic Surgery.

Today, I’d like to talk about what to watch out for when choosing a facial contouring clinic, so that patients visiting a facial contouring plastic surgery clinic can achieve satisfying surgical results without suffering from any side effects.

What do patients who fail to see 100% of the expected results have in common when they meet a doctor who cannot propose a “customized surgery” without accurately understanding the patient’s condition, or a doctor at a hospital who only repeats a manual, routine procedure?

If you look at plastic surgery blog posts, you can often find advertising articles that simply list flashy surgical methods and special features, along with meaningless text.

You may also see before-and-after comparison photos posted without any explanation for each patient.

When we take CT scans of people who come in for facial contouring revision surgery, there are many cases where a procedure that did not suit the patient was performed.

However, no matter how much someone makes things up, there are posts that are difficult to write unless they have a large number of cases. For example, a post such as: “In the case of a patient similar to Case A from an actual example, the problem was X, so surgery was performed using method X, and the problem was resolved.”

If an article explains matters by referring to individual cases like this in every post, it is likely a clinic that has a large volume of cases.

Those considering facial contouring surgery are likely very worried about which of the many hospitals performs surgery well and which are safe.

In fact, surgery is not something that can be simply divided into one or two methods.

As I always say, surgery must be carried out individually according to the patient’s condition.

For example, even with cheekbone surgery, the method differs depending on which part of the cheekbone is developed. In addition, there are many possible variations depending on which incision is used, which area is osteotomized, and whether fixation is performed.

The problem is that every surgical method varies depending on each patient’s cheekbone condition. That is why a board-certified specialist who knows all surgical methods must accurately understand the patient’s condition and perform a customized surgery for it to lead to a 100% successful result.

To prevent unnecessary revision surgery and make the right choice, I recommend visiting at least 3 to 4 facial contouring clinics for consultations.

Before surgery, you should carefully check how the operation will be performed, what the recovery will be like, what the recovery period will be like, and what facial contouring surgery cases the hospital has.

You should also think for yourself after visiting the hospital about whether they are recommending surgery that is too excessive or not suitable for you.

The reason I recommend visiting several clinics for consultations is that only by visiting multiple hospitals can patients develop the judgment to make decisions for themselves.

Listening to only one doctor at one hospital and undergoing unnecessary surgery leads to truly poor results.

Another thing is that you should not decide on surgery simply because you are tempted by the cost.

Of course, you may undergo surgery and get a satisfying result, but cosmetic surgery is not like selling the same product at a lower price. Rather, you can think of it as a cost that reflects entirely different surgical outcomes.

Even for the same cheekbone surgery, there can be a stark difference in the results, as well as in the risk of side effects after surgery, depending on whether the specialist has extensive clinical experience or limited clinical experience.

You should always choose a facial contouring clinic that can leave you satisfied beyond the amount you paid, so that you can achieve a result without regrets.

I hope you will carefully review only the four points above before choosing a clinic and achieve a satisfying result without side effects.

Thank you.
