What the clinician needs to assess
An examination should assess nasal breathing, skin and soft tissues, existing support and the timing of previous surgery. A person unhappy with an early appearance does not automatically need another operation. Ask whether further settling or treatment of a specific problem should precede a decision about surgery.

Localized revision: A focused change may address a specific contour concern; its suitability depends on the remaining framework.
Structural reconstruction: Grafts may restore support where previous surgery has weakened or removed tissue.
Observation: Waiting can clarify a changing postoperative appearance when immediate treatment is not indicated.
Discuss risk before consent
Rhinoplasty risks still apply, including breathing difficulties, infection, poor healing and further revision. Existing scar tissue and prior changes can make reconstruction more complex. If cartilage is taken from another area, that donor site adds its own scar, discomfort and potential complications to the decision.
Agree the follow-up plan
Recovery includes the nose and, when applicable, a cartilage donor site. Swelling, scars and contour can evolve beyond the immediate postoperative period. Ask how follow-up will distinguish expected healing from a problem, what changes require prompt contact and how assessments will continue after leaving Korea.
