I am from North America, I’m in my mid-forties, and I came across Retmus clinic while reading about revisional surgeries on Reddit and Purseforum. I was very intrigued, so I messaged to inquire, and the communication with the clinic was good from the beginning, I was communicating with the translator in English. Prior to coming to SK, Seoul I knew that I wanted to see Dr. Chung at Retmus Plastic Surgery. I was looking for revision tip plasty and chin implant removal and maybe genioplasty, in which case he could do all, I was also interested in the scarless lip lift as well. I had my blood work done back home prior to coming. My consultation was on May 26, 2026, and I needed a CT scan so Dr Chung could see my facial anatomy and give his recommendations. I had previous facial asymmetry and Dr. Chung explained (I also knew) that these procedures would not fix my soft tissue facial asymmetry. Dr. Chung explained my situation well and after the consultation I felt confident with Dr. Chung, the clinic staff, and I decided to go forward. We were all in agreement on the surgery plan; revision tip plasty w/lip lift, chin implant removal w/genioplasty. My impression of Dr. Chung is that he is very smart, confident, skillful, talented, honest, and he means well. I completely put my trust in his experience and skills. My surgery was the next day; I was to be at the office for 9:00am and in surgery by 11:00am. The staff went through and explained in detail the surgeries to be performed, the risks, potential complications, and I was informed about my medications. I recommend taking pictures, make notes of the important recommendations for after care. After the surgery, I was not nauseous at all, but my mouth was very dry, I had to wait before I could have water, I was also given a bit of oxygen and was to keep awake to let the gasses out. I was able to go to the washroom when needed, the nurse assisted with the walking to. Dr. Chung came into see me after the surgery, he said surgery went well, and he said my chin implant had capsular contracture so when removing he removed as much of the scar tissue that he could, I was relieved and glad to have it out. The Dr, the staff, and nurses were kind and caring, and I felt safe and in good hands. The staff kindly helped and assisted in getting me a taxi back to my stay. The first 1-3 days were the toughest, with some pain swelling, limited movement, strict eating, I only needed 1 Tylenol on day 2 and 1 on day 3, after that it was manageable. I came into the clinic on day 2 for a checkup and my nose stitches were removed at the clinic visit on day 6. I’m currently 1 week out, and my nose and tip are very swollen and numb. My lip lift area is still numb, stiff, with swelling, hard to talk, laugh, eat, and I can’t close my mouth yet. My chin and lower cheeks area are still swollen as well from genioplasty/implant removal, which is to be expected. The stitches are still in my mouth and will be removed this coming week. Now I am patiently waiting for more healing and de-swelling. :)

I wanted to share my experience with revision lip lift surgery in case it helps someone who is considering the procedure but still has doubts. Three weeks ago, I had a revision lip lift at Retmus Plastic Surgery Clinic in Korea. My first lip lift was done five years ago in Russia, and unfortunately, I wasn't happy with the results. The scar under my nose was quite noticeable, so I wanted to find a clinic that specializes in lip lifts for my revision. After doing a lot of research, I came across Retmus Plastic Surgery Clinic. They specialize in lip lift procedures, have many before-and-after photos on Instagram, and had plenty of positive Google reviews, which gave me confidence. From the beginning, I had a great experience with their customer service. They were responsive, organized, and kept in touch with scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups. My surgeon, Dr. Chung, was professional, kind, and realistic about what could be achieved. He never promised an unrealistic result, but he clearly explained the procedure and did everything possible to minimize my existing scar. The surgery itself went smoothly. I didn't feel any pain during the procedure, and I felt surprisingly good afterward. The clinic also provided all the necessary medications, including scar care products, which I hadn't received after my first surgery. At my follow-up appointment, they removed my stitches and gave me anti-scar injections as part of the aftercare. Since it's only been three weeks, I'm still healing, but so far I'm happy with my experience. If you're considering a lip lift or a revision, I think this clinic is worth looking into—especially if you like their previous results and are looking for a clinic that specializes in this procedure. I attached the pictures before and after for the reference.
