About Tummy Tuck Revision
Treated areas:Abdomen
TUMMY TUCK REVISION: Refine • Correct • Sculpt
Specialist Corrective Contouring | Repair Muscle Separation & Perfect Your Midsection
What You Will Achieve
✅ Refined Abdominal Flatness: Trims away any remaining loose skin or “dog ears” (extra tissue at the scar ends) for a seamless finish.
✅ Restored Core Strength: Re-tightens abdominal muscles that may have separated again, eliminating persistent midsection bulging.
✅ Scar Improvement: Replaces thick, raised, or high-positioned scars with a neater, lower line that is easily hidden by swimwear.
✅ Natural Belly Button: Reshapes or repositions the navel to ensure it looks natural, neat, and correctly placed.
✅ Smooth & Balanced Shape: Corrects lumps, dents, or lopsidedness for a symmetrical, “no-trace” surgical result.
✅ Enhanced Waist Sculpting: Often combined with Liposuction to further slim the flanks and create a more defined waistline.
Ideal Candidate
Suitable for adults aged 18 to 70+ who have previously undergone a tummy tuck and are facing new or lingering concerns.
You are the perfect candidate if you have:
- Lingering Sagging: Extra skin or “folds” that were not fully removed.
- Muscle Weakness: A protruding tummy despite having had a previous repair.
- Scar Concerns: A scar that is too high to be hidden by underwear or has become thick and raised.
- Belly Button Issues: A navel that looks “distorted” or surgically unnatural.
- Post-Op Changes: New skin stretching due to pregnancy or weight gain after your first surgery.
- Asymmetry: Bulges or unevenness that make one side of the tummy look different.
Your Timeline
Preparation

Followup Care
Wear compression garment 4-6 weeks. Walk gently from day 1. Limit lifting to under 5 kg for 6 weeks. Scar massage and silicone therapy from week 3.
