While liposuction can create beautiful body contours when performed skillfully, if your surgeon is inexperienced in body contouring, the results may not match what you had in mind. Revision liposuction can include a variety of surgical techniques to help men and women resolve their previous lipo disappointments with smoother, improved contours. Here are the three most common reasons to consider revision liposuction.
-
Irregular Contours
Irregular contours can appear asymmetrical or have bulges of fat in the wrong places. This can result from an uneven application of suction to the treatment areas or from breaking up fat cells disproportionately compared to other locations. To resolve this problem, your revision liposuction surgeon can skillfully smooth out contours or use fat transfer to even out areas that appear bumpy or imbalanced.
-
Noticeable Scars
Ideally, liposuction should result in minimal scarring, since only a small incision is required to insert the suction device and remove targeted fat cells. However, poorly performed lipo can leave patients with larger scars, and certain skin types may not heal as well after surgery. Noticeable scarring or imperfect healing of scars can be corrected with scar revision surgery for a more flattering, discreet result.
-
Not Enough Volume Removed
Not seeing sufficient fat removal is one of the most common reasons that men and women undergo revision liposuction. Sometimes, not enough volume is removed to deliver ideal cosmetic results. In this instance, your surgeon can perform additional liposuction of the same area(s) to create better contours more closely aligned with your expectations.
