Revision liposuction is a specialized procedure for those who have had unsatisfactory outcomes from previous liposuction surgeries. The goal of this procedure is to correct irregularities and improve body contours. However, achieving100% repair is not always possible. The process often involves multiple procedures, including fat transfer, micro- liposuction, additional liposuction, skin removal, and radiofrequency soft tissue contraction treatment.
Who is a Good Candidate for Revision Liposuction?
Ideal candidates for revision liposuction are individuals who have previously undergone a liposuction procedure and are dissatisfied with the results. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand that the procedure may require multiple sessions. A personal consultation is necessary to determine specific candidacy.
The results of revision liposuction are varied and highly individual, depending on the initial conditions and the specific techniques used. The aim is to correct any irregularities and improve the contours of the body. While a full 100% repair may not be achievable, significant improvements can often be made, leading to increased patient satisfaction and improved body image.
Revision liposuction is typically performed using a combination of techniques tailored to the patient’s needs. This may include micro-liposuction to smooth out high areas, fat transfer to fill in dented areas, additional liposuction for better contouring, skin removal for optimal redraping, and radiofrequency/microneedling treatments like Morpheus8 Body, Body Tite and J-Plasma Renuvion for tissue contraction.
