- Implant rupture, double-bubble deformity, upper-pole fullness or asymmetry may require revision, which is a separate fee schedule item (KRW 10M–33M).
- Keloid-type scars can form; they are treated with scar injections.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
