01

Should I decide on revision as soon as I dislike the appearance?

Not usually without clinical review. Swelling, bruising, tissue settling, and scars can change over time. Ask what healing stage applies to your procedure and when a result can reasonably be assessed.

02

Review with the treating clinic

Separate urgent symptoms from appearance concerns: emergencies need local emergency care, while worsening or unexpected recovery changes need prompt assessment by the treating clinic or another qualified clinician.

Request an independent opinion

Before judging a final result, ask the treating clinician for the expected healing window, what is still changing, the review date, and which findings would justify correction or revision.

Is dissatisfaction automatically a medical dispute?

No. Aesthetic dissatisfaction, a complication, and alleged malpractice are different questions. Seek clinical care first when needed; unresolved concerns can be discussed with Medical Korea or the Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency.
