Enhanced Contouring.
Liposuction revision allows for further refinement of the body contours, addressing areas that may not have been fully sculpted during the initial liposuction procedure.
Improved Symmetry.
Revision liposuction can correct any asymmetry or uneven results from the initial procedure, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
Addressing Residual Fat Deposits.
In some cases, there might be persistent or new fat deposits after the initial liposuction. Revision can target these specific areas for additional fat removal.
Correcting Irregularities.
Liposuction revision can address irregularities such as contour depressions, bulges, or uneven skin texture left from the first procedure, providing a smoother and more natural outcome.
Adapting to Changes.
If changes in weight or body composition have occurred since the initial liposuction, revision surgery can adapt to these changes and maintain optimal body proportions.
Liposuction Revision
Liposuction revision surgery, considered a challenging correction procedure in plastic surgery, is skillfully performed by Dr. Fan, a highly experienced surgeon dedicated to achieving optimal results. Before the surgery, you’ll have a comprehensive consultation with him to discuss specific areas for improvement in your liposuction revision.
Once your goals are established, he will tailor the procedure based on whether you desire fat removal or addition. The surgery begins with the administration of general anesthesia, followed by the injection of a saline solution containing local anesthesia and adrenaline into the targeted areas. Small incisions are then made to insert a cannula.
If you believe that insufficient fat was removed or have gained weight post-initial procedure, traditional liposuction methods, also known as suction-assisted liposuction, are employed. Dr. Fan uses a cannula to loosen unwanted fat through a back-and-forth motion, subsequently removing the fat with a surgical vacuum attached to the cannula.
In cases where too much fat was initially removed and you wish to restore some, the process involves fat reinjection. This entails multiple sessions to inject fat and contour it appropriately. Reinjection can restore up to 70-80% of your preoperative body contour. The comprehensive approach ensures the surgery aligns with your specific needs and goals.
Recovery
While exact recovery times may vary from patient to patient, most patients are able to return to work within a week of their surgery. However, many activities, including strenuous activity, will need to be avoided for a longer period of time to ensure proper healing.
Am I a candidate for Liposuction Revision?
Candidates for liposuction revision are individuals who have previously undergone liposuction but are dissatisfied with the results or have experienced changes in their body shape, leading to asymmetry or irregular contours.
