What Is Liposuction Revision?

Liposuction revision is a secondary procedure that improves the results of an initial liposuction surgery. It is performed when patients are dissatisfied with irregularities, asymmetries, or lack of fat removal from their first operation. The revision utilizes better techniques and takes a different approach to eliminate more fat deposits and correct imperfections. The procedure is typically shorter than the original surgery, usually taking 1-2 hours to complete. Liposuction revision allows Dr. Scottsdale® and Dr. Benjamin to refine and enhance cosmetic results for patients seeking better contouring.

Areas for Liposuction Revision

Liposuction revision can be performed in any area, including:

Buttocks

Inner and outer thighs

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a large volume of diluted local anesthetic solution into the areas where fat will be extracted. It swells and firms the targeted zone, allowing easier and more precise tissue removal. The tumescent solution also provides anesthesia to make the procedure less painful and helps minimize bleeding and swelling.

Ultrasound-Assisted
Liposuction (VASER®)

VASER® stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It uses ultrasound waves to break up and liquefy fat cells for easier removal. A small stainless steel probe delivers ultrasonic energy through the skin while preserving other tissues, like blood vessels and nerves. This allows for more precise body sculpting. The broken-up fat cells are then suctioned out.

Power-Assisted Liposuction
(MicroAire PAL®)

Power-assisted liposuction uses a specialized cannula with a powered tip to enhance movement. This allows for more accurate fat removal and better skin retraction. The cannula’s powered vibration augments our surgeon’s actions to increase efficiency and safety, which leads to better results and quicker recovery times.

Consultation & Preparation for Liposuction Revision

Preparation for corrective liposuction procedures begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Scottsdale® or Dr. Benjamin. During this appointment, the patient’s goals and concerns are discussed in depth to determine if a revision is appropriate or necessary. Our surgeon evaluates the areas of the body the patient wishes to address, assesses skin elasticity and fat distribution, and examines the patient’s medical history, including any reactions or complications from the original procedure.

After the evaluation, Dr. Scottsdale® and Dr. Benjamin explain the chosen technique, where the procedure will be performed, and what type of anesthesia will be administered. Key aspects of preparation include arranging for transportation to and from our facility on the day of surgery, taking time off work for recovery, having someone available to assist with daily tasks, and following our preoperative instructions for medications, fasting, and lab testing.

Liposuction Revision Procedure

Anesthesia

Liposuction revision is typically performed under IV sedation to keep the patient comfortable throughout the procedure. Our surgeon injects local anesthesia using numbing medication in the target area to prevent pain and discomfort. Alternatively, we may use general anesthesia if the patient prefers this option and does not have contraindications.

Tumescent Solution

A large volume of tumescent solution is infused into the treatment zone. This fluid provides additional numbing and epinephrine to reduce pain and bleeding. The tumescent solution helps loosen the fatty tissue to make removal easier.

Incisions

Small incisions a few millimeters wide are made in inconspicuous places, like the buttock crease. These openings allow our surgeon to insert the cannula (thin tube) beneath the skin to sculpt and contour the areas with excess fat.

Removal of Fat Cells

Our surgeons use several liposuction devices — VASER® and MicroAire PAL® — to remove unwanted fat, tighten skin, and enhance results. The cannula is moved back and forth beneath the skin to break up and suction out the fat.

Final Steps

At the end of the procedure, the incisions are closed, and the treatment zones are dressed and compressed to minimize swelling. Depending on the number of areas addressed, the surgery typically takes 1-2 hours.

Recovery After Liposuction Revision

First Day

During this initial period, patients experience significant swelling and discomfort. Our board-certified plastic surgeon prescribes medication to manage the pain. Compression garments must be worn continuously to minimize swelling and support the treated areas. Patients should rest and avoid physical activities, with minimal movement limited to essential tasks like using the bathroom.

Week 1

Bruising and swelling remain prominent during the first week. Drainage from incision sites is common and gradually decreases. Patients can usually return to light daily activities but should continue wearing compression garments. Showering is typically permitted after 48 hours. However, patients must avoid baths to prevent infections. Pain levels begin to decrease, though discomfort persists.

Weeks 2-3

After 7-14 days of recovery, people return to work and light activities, except for strenuous exercise. Compression garments are still necessary. However, they may be worn for shorter periods after clearance by Dr. Scottsdale® or Dr. Benjamin. Sensation in treated areas gradually returns to normal.

Weeks 4-6

Swelling continues to subside, and results become more visible. Light exercise can usually resume with our surgeon’s approval. Compression garments may only be required during physical activities. Most patients feel comfortable returning to all daily routines, but residual swelling might persist.

Months 2-3

The majority of symptoms resolve during this period. Final results begin to emerge as tissues settle into their new position. Regular physical activities and exercise can typically resume fully. Any residual numbness or altered sensation continues to improve. Patients usually see final results after 6 months of recovery.

Add-On Procedures

Renuvion® Skin Tightening

Renuvion® (J-Plasma) is a cutting-edge technology that combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin after liposuction. The procedure involves inserting a small device under the skin through tiny incisions, which delivers controlled heat to contract the fibrous bands while keeping the surface temperature cool enough to prevent burns. This dual-energy approach allows for significant skin remodeling with minimal downtime and reduced risk compared to more aggressive surgical procedures.

Fat Grafting to the Buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift)

Brazilian butt lift is a famous body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with fat grafting to enhance and reshape the buttocks. Excess fat is harvested from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or other areas. It is carefully processed and strategically injected into different layers of the buttocks to create a more lifted, rounded appearance. The dual benefit of this surgical procedure lies in its ability to slim down problem areas while using the patient’s own fat to augment the buttocks naturally.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) may address unsatisfactory results from a previous liposuction. It can correct contour irregularities, loose or rippled skin, and stubborn fat deposits in certain areas. A tummy tuck involves removing excess tissues, tightening the abdominal muscles, and repositioning the remaining skin to create a smoother, firmer contour.

Candidates for Revision Liposuction

After an initial liposuction procedure, some individuals may consider revision surgery to correct unsatisfactory areas. Understanding who qualifies for this secondary operation is essential for patients and our healthcare providers. Suitable candidates include:

Patients with irregular contours following their previous liposuction procedure
Individuals who experienced overcorrection (excessive fat removal) in certain areas
Those with too much fat left after their initial surgery
Patients who developed skin irregularities or dimpling
Individuals who experienced migration of fat deposits to untreated areas
Those who have gained significant weight after their initial liposuction
Patients with residual scarring or fibrosis
People who developed skin laxity following their primary surgery
Individuals who are physically healthy and at a stable weight
Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking before the procedure

Benefits of Revision Lipo Surgery

Liposuction revision is designed to refine or correct results from a previous treatment. It is often chosen by individuals seeking improved outcomes or enhanced body contouring. Secondary liposuction can provide the following benefits:

Enhanced contours

Improved body symmetry

Correction of irregularities or unevenness

Removal of remaining fat deposits

Boosted confidence

Smoother, more natural-looking results

Addressing scar tissue or imperfections
