Experience relevant to your problem
Ask about experience with the kind of revision being considered. A large total case count is not the same as documented experience with your concern.
A plan that explains the trade-offs
Ask what is being changed, what may remain unchanged and why a material or technique is proposed. Request alternatives and an explanation of limitations.
Cases with a clear timeline
Compare the starting concern, stated operation and follow-up interval. A photograph cannot establish the method by itself, and early images should not be described as a final result.
Who provides care after you return?
Agree on routine follow-up, an escalation route and costs of additional visits. Confirm the treating clinician’s medical responsibilities.
Questions to take to your consultation
- What explains my current concern?
- Why is this plan preferable to the alternatives?
- What outcome is uncertain or unlikely?
- What are the risks and possible next steps if healing is difficult?
- What follow-up needs to happen in Seoul?
