Mastering Tummy Tuck Revisions:Successful Do-Overs

What is a Tummy Tuck Revision?

“Tummy tuck” is the commonly used name for a procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen. Sometimes a person might seek a tummy tuck revision, which is a procedure following complications or unwanted side effects from a previous tummy tuck. Depending on the extent of the correction required to achieve the desired look, the surgeon can use a variety of techniques to tighten the abdominal muscles and smooth skin. The goal is to create a tighter, flatter stomach with aesthetic and desirable proportions and contour.

Who Needs a Tummy Tuck Revision and Redo?

There are a number of common reasons for needing a tummy tuck revision including:

High scar
Uneven scar
Muscle tightening not done
No monsplasy
Contour irregularities after abdominal lipo when patient had too much skin laxity and would have needed a TT in the first place

A tummy tuck revision can address and correct any of these issues.

When is the Best Time for a Tummy Tuck Revision or Redo?

A tummy tuck revision or redo can address a number of issues, but there are certain times when it would be the best option. Ideally, a patient would want to have a tummy tuck revision 9-12 months after the first tummy tuck. It can take a full 6 months for a tummy tuck to heal, so you wouldn’t want to undergo a new abdominal procedure before this time has passed.
