01 The short answer
What is liposuction revision surgery?
Liposuction revision is a corrective procedure for patients whose previous liposuction left irregularities — dents, ridges, lumps, asymmetry or remaining fat — or did not give the contour they hoped for.
Revision is more demanding than a first liposuction because of scar tissue (fibrosis) and changed fat layers. At De:light in Gangnam, Seoul, Dr. Seonghun Kim evaluates the cause first, then combines careful fibrosis release, selective liposuction of remaining fat and, where needed, fat grafting into depressions to even out the surface. Incisions are closed with the De:MIS internal suture . Revision is usually planned at least several months after the first surgery, once tissues have settled.

02 Is it right for you?
An honest answer first — even if it's "no."
We would rather tell you liposuction revision surgery isn't the right tool than sell you a surgery you don't need.
Usually a good fit
- Visible dents, waves or lumps after liposuction
- Uneven sides or remaining pockets of fat
- Hard, tethered areas from scar tissue
- Your first surgery was at least several months ago
Other options may suit you
- Less than a few months since your first surgery (swelling may still change)
- Mainly loose skin — a lift may suit better
- Expecting a perfect result in severe skin damage
- Significant weight change still planned
Not sure? Send clear photos of the area and, if possible, details of your previous surgery on WhatsApp — Dr. Kim's team will give you an honest opinion.
03 How we approach revision
Diagnose first. Then correct.
Every revision is different. Dr. Kim identifies whether the problem is over-correction, under-correction or scar tissue, and chooses the combination of methods that fits.
Precise assessment
Mapping dents, ridges and fat pockets in standing and lying positions before surgery.
Fibrosis release
Gently freeing tethered scar tissue that pulls the skin into dents.
Selective liposuction
Removing remaining fat only where needed to balance the contour.
Fat grafting
Transferring your own purified fat into depressions to smooth the surface.

08 Questions, answered
Liposuction Revision Surgery FAQ
How soon after my first liposuction can I have revision?
Usually after several months, once swelling and scar tissue have settled. Dr. Kim will assess the right timing from your photos and history.
Can dents and lumps after liposuction be fixed?
In many cases they can be improved through fibrosis release, selective liposuction and fat grafting. The degree of improvement depends on the skin and tissue condition.
Is revision liposuction more difficult than the first surgery?
Yes. Scar tissue and altered fat layers make it more technical, so an experienced surgeon and careful planning are important.
My first surgery was in another clinic or country — can I still come?
Yes. Many revision patients had their first surgery elsewhere. Please share any surgical records you have.
How much does liposuction revision cost?
It depends on the area and methods needed. Send photos on WhatsApp for a personal quote after assessment.
I'm visiting from abroad. How many days should I stay in Seoul?
It depends on your plan and recovery. Share your travel dates on WhatsApp and our team will suggest a schedule covering consultation, surgery and a check-up before your flight. De:MIS needs no stitch removal, so there is no stitch-removal visit to plan around.
Do you speak English? Who will perform my surgery?
Yes — English-speaking staff handle inquiries, online consultation, scheduling and recovery guidance. Your surgery is performed personally by Dr. Seonghun Kim, the same surgeon who consults you. There is no change of surgeon.
