Revision Facial Contouringrevision facial contouring
We carefully analyze the concerns and limitations of the initial surgery, considering the facial contours not only from the front but also from the side and 45-degree angles. By refining the overall facial lines while enhancing natural dimension and three-dimensional balance, we aim to create a smaller, more refined, and elegantly contoured facial profile.
What is revision facial contouring at NANA Plastic Surgery?
Facial contouring revision surgery is performed to address concerns such as limited changes following a previous procedure, a double chin, facial asymmetry, or functional issues that may cause discomfort.
Because revision surgery is often more complex and technically challenging than an initial procedure, it is important to undergo thorough consultation with an experienced specialist. A careful evaluation and individualized surgical plan can help ensure a safe procedure and achieve satisfactory results.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
I want revision square jaw surgery — are there criteria for choosing a clinic?
Revision surgery is a highly demanding surgery because the nerves,
muscles, and skin tissue of the face have been significantly altered.
Therefore, it is best to check and choose a clinic where the surgery
is performed by a medical team with long experience and expertise,
precise diagnosis is possible, and safety systems, emergency systems,
and an on-site anesthesiologist are in place.
There was almost no change after surgery and I want a revision — when is the best time?
Because revision surgery re-improves an area that has already been
operated on, you should visit after a recovery period of at least
6 months to 1 year after the first surgery, so that the facial bones
and muscles have settled and an accurate diagnosis can be made.
Depending on the individual, residual swelling may persist
for up to a year.
I don't like having metal in my body — are fixation screws absolutely necessary?
Because revision surgery re-improves an area that has already been
operated on, you should visit after a recovery period of at least
6 months to 1 year after the first surgery, so that the facial bones
and muscles have settled and an accurate diagnosis can be made.
Depending on the individual, residual swelling may persist
for up to a year.
A depression developed after surgery — is there any option other than revision surgery?
It is best to identify the cause of the depressed area before deciding
on a method. If the depression is due to a problem with the bone or
fixation screws, we recommend revision surgery. However, if the
depression is due to a problem with the skin tissue, volume can be
restored with fat grafting or filler treatment to refine the line.

NANA's guide to
precautions after facial contouring surgery
01
Washing & showering
Until the stitches are removed, please wipe areas other than the surgical site with a damp towel.Until the tape or stitches on your face are removed, please wipe areas other than the surgical site with a damp towel.
You may brush your teeth from the day after surgery.From the day after surgery, brush your teeth as usual but carefully with a small toothbrush. After intraoral incision surgery, gargle with the prescribed Hexamedine diluted at a ratio of 7 parts water to 3 parts Hexamedine. We recommend gargling after every meal, and rinsing your mouth gently at intervals of about 3–4 hours.
02
Recovery
Irritation or a strong impact to the surgical site may cause bleeding or hematoma.Irritating the surgical site or receiving a strong impact may cause bleeding or hematoma. Please avoid actions that put pressure on the face (straining during vomiting or bowel movements, coughing, sneezing, bending your head down, etc.).
There may be reduced sensation in the cheeks, lips, or teeth.There may be reduced sensation in the cheeks, lips, or teeth. However, this gradually improves over 1–2 months at the shortest and up to a year at the longest, so there is no need to worry.
03
Swelling care
After surgery, swelling or bruising may move downward and descend as far as below the neck.Swelling or residual tissue may look asymmetrical, but it returns to symmetry once the swelling has fully subsided, so there is no need to worry.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery while the face is swollen. They help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising. Because sensation in the face is dulled, please be careful of frostbite or burns from compress packs.
04
Diet
Day after surgery – 1 week after surgeryFor one week from the day after surgery, eat thin porridge-type foods and do not use a straw.
1–4 weeks after surgery (6 weeks for cheekbone surgery)From 1 to 4 weeks after surgery, you may eat regular meals but only soft foods. Avoid hard and chewy foods. ※ Foods to avoid: meat (except finely minced meat), cubed radish kimchi, seasoned vegetables (cut kimchi and vegetables into small pieces), squid, dried fish, rice cakes, gum, candy, nuts, etc.
05
How to wear the facial band
Please wear it for 3 days after surgery.Wear it for 3 days after surgery; you do not need to fasten the band too tightly or wear it 24 hours a day.
From day 4 to 1 week after surgery, do not wear it and leave the area open. From 1 week to 1 month after surgery, wear the band intermittently.Wearing the band intermittently from 1 to 4 weeks after surgery helps the skin contract (especially after chin surgery), but it is not essential.
06
Additional notes for cheekbone surgery
If you had cheekbone surgery, please be sure to follow the precautions below.Please refrain from blowing your nose and opening your mouth wide (more than three fingers' width) for 6 weeks. However, keep opening your mouth to a natural degree to prevent adhesion of the jaw joint. Also, if the dressing at the sideburn incision gets wet, simply replace it with another bandage.
