About Liposuction Revision
iposuction revision, also called corrective liposuction, fixes or improves the result of a previous liposuction. It smooths lumps, dents, or uneven areas, fills hollow spots, or removes fat that was left behind. The goal is to give you a smooth, balanced, natural shape.
Because there is already scar tissue and changed tissue structure, this work is more delicate and complex, it needs a surgeon with advanced skill and experience.
✅ Best done 6–12 months after your first surgery, once all swelling has gone and tissue has fully settled.
What It Can Fix & Improve
🔹 Precision Fat Removal
- Take away small extra bulges or high spots
- Smooth and blend areas so everything flows naturally
- Make both sides even and symmetrical
🔹 Fat Grafting (Fill Dents)
- Take healthy fat from another part of your body
- Inject it into hollow, sunken, or uneven spots
- Restores soft, smooth, natural curves
🔹 Scar Tissue Release
- Break up hard, tight internal scar tissue
- Release skin that is pulled down or dimpled
- Makes skin soft and flexible again
🔹 Skin Tightening
- Use ultrasound, laser, or radiofrequency tools
- Helps loose skin shrink and tighten for a smoother finish
Common Areas Treated
- Tummy, waist, and flanks
- Thighs, hips, and knees
- Arms and back
- Chin and neck
- Chest
Ideal Candidate
Clients experiencing problems from previous surgery:
- Lumps, bumps, or dents: fat removed unevenly
- Hollows or sunken areas: too much fat taken out in spots
- Still have bulges: not enough fat removed before
- Uneven shape: one side looks different from the other
- Hardness or dimpling: caused by internal scar tissue
- Loose skin: skin didn’t shrink well or hangs loosely
Proven Results
- Smoother more balanced contour becomes visible within 4-6 weeks as swelling resolves.
- Final refinement continues over 3-6 months as tissues remodel.
- Fat-graft survival stabilises around the 6-month mark, locking in the corrected contour.
