Moodon Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgery clinic on Gangnam-daero in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. HIRA records show it opened on November 7, 2022. Its official website has separate pages for revision rhinoplasty, contracted nose revision and autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty, each explaining who the surgery is for and covering the technique, anesthesia, operating time, stitch removal and recovery. Both doctors registered with HIRA are board-certified plastic surgeons, and 1 cone-beam CT is registered as medical equipment.
According to the clinic, the head surgeon, Dr. Yoon Tae-kyung (윤태경), handles revision rhinoplasty from the first consultation through aftercare. In Gangnam Revision Rhinoplasty: 4 Clinics Compared, we also selected Moodon Plastic Surgery as our first pick, based on its board-certified specialists, CT registration and published information for each procedure.
Revision rhinoplasty
Moodon Plastic Surgery lists the problems revision rhinoplasty addresses: inflammation and contracture after an earlier nose surgery, an implant that shows through or moves, a crooked bridge, and nasal blockage. Before surgery, the clinic says it uses 3D CT (cone-beam CT) to check the nasal bones, septal cartilage and soft tissue. Materials it names for revision include autologous rib cartilage, ear cartilage and dermis.
Anesthesia and recovery
Revision rhinoplasty is done under IV sedation and takes about 2 hours. Stitches come out 1 week after surgery, and the clinic lists a recovery time of 1 to 2 weeks.
When to have revision rhinoplasty
Moodon Plastic Surgery says a revision is generally done 6 months to 1 year after the previous surgery, and that a revision for inflammation may need a longer wait. Actual timing is decided by the surgeon after an examination.

Contracted nose revision
Moodon Plastic Surgery describes a contracted nose as one that has turned red or hard, with the tip pulled up, after an inflammatory reaction, an implant or changes in the capsule. To correct it, the surgeon removes the existing implant, releases the scar tissue, places autologous tissue to restore length, and then reshapes the nose.
Materials for contracted nose revision
The autologous tissues listed are ear cartilage, septal cartilage, rib cartilage, autologous dermis and mastoid fascia, and the choice depends on the condition of the nose.
Anesthesia and recovery
Contracted nose revision is done under IV sedation, and the clinic gives the operating time as about 3 hours. Stitches come out 1 week after surgery, and recovery takes 1 to 2 weeks.

Autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty
Autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty uses the patient's own rib cartilage to support the columella and the nasal tip. A column by Dr. Yoon explains that ear cartilage or septal cartilage is usually used, and that autologous rib cartilage is considered when those are not enough or are not strong enough to lift the tip properly.
What rib cartilage offers
That column describes rib cartilage as the cartilage that joins the breastbone to the ribs. According to the column, rib cartilage gives firm, strong support, can be harvested in large amounts and is almost never rejected. Compared with artificial implants, it also stays relatively free of problems such as contracture and inflammation even after many years.
Harvesting the cartilage and the scar
Using autologous rib cartilage requires a separate procedure to harvest it. On the same page, Moodon Plastic Surgery explains that harvesting leaves a scar below the chest and that the cartilage can bend (warping). According to the column, a scar cannot be avoided entirely, but it tends to be less noticeable than patients expect.
Anesthesia and recovery
Autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty is done under IV sedation or general anesthesia and takes about 3 hours, with 7 to 10 days given for stitch removal and recovery.

What to check at a revision rhinoplasty consultation
How a revision is done depends on the materials used in the earlier surgery and the current condition of the nose. Because Moodon Plastic Surgery describes revision rhinoplasty, contracted nose revision and autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty separately, you can see how the procedures differ before you go. At the consultation, you can check the following.
- Previous surgery: when it was done, which implant or cartilage was used, and what problem has appeared
- Preoperative tests: the state of the nasal bones, septal cartilage and soft tissue on 3D CT
- Technique and materials: whether the implant will be removed, and which of ear cartilage, septal cartilage, rib cartilage or dermis will be used
- Anesthesia and recovery: the type of anesthesia, operating time, and the schedule for stitch removal and recovery
- Doctor: which surgeon handles the consultation, the operation and aftercare
If you have records from the clinic that did your earlier surgery, bring them to the consultation. If you are comparing clinics by the number of board-certified plastic surgeons, Pleasure Plastic Surgery (플레저성형외과), also in Gangnam, is another clinic to compare. As of the HIRA check on November 2, 2026, it has 7 board-certified plastic surgeons registered.
Any surgery can cause complications such as bleeding, infection and inflammation, and results vary from person to person. Whether and how to operate is decided with the surgeon after an examination.
