Refine & define your midsection

A revision tummy tuck is a corrective surgical procedure aimed at improving the results of a previous tummy tuck. It involves removing excess skin, addressing unsatisfactory scarring, and correcting contour irregularities that may have occurred from the initial surgery. This procedure can also involve tightening the abdominal muscles and refining the overall appearance of your midsection. If you’re unhappy with your initial tummy tuck results, Dr. Lalezar can perform a personalized revision tummy tuck to help you achieve a smoother, more toned abdomen.

Reasons to consider revision tummy tuck:

  • Excess skin left after the initial surgery
  • Visible, uneven, or wide scars that need improvement
  • Uneven or asymmetrical abdominal contours
  • Remaining fat deposits that affect the overall appearance
  • Abdominal muscles that were not adequately tightened
  • The desire for enhanced cosmetic results or refined abdominal shape
  • Addressing complications such as wound healing issues or infection scars

Dr. Lalezar’s revision tummy tuck surgical technique

During a revision tummy tuck, Dr. Frank Lalezar, renowned for his expertise in corrective procedures, meticulously assesses your abdominal area to address specific issues from prior surgeries. The procedure typically begins with making precise incisions along the existing scar lines to minimize additional scarring. Dr. Lalezar will then carefully remove any remaining excess skin and fat, paying close attention to contouring your abdomen for a smoother, more even appearance. Next, Dr. Lalezar will address any muscle laxity by tightening the abdominal muscles to provide better support and a firmer profile. He may also improve the appearance of any unsatisfactory scars by closing the incisions with advanced suturing techniques. Throughout the surgery, Dr. Lalezar ensures that each step is performed with precision to enhance the overall aesthetic results.

Your recovery journey after revision tummy tuck

After a revision tummy tuck, you may experience side effects such as swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the abdominal area. These symptoms are typically managed with prescribed medications and gradually subside over a few weeks. Dr. Lalezar will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Your recovery will involve taking time off from strenuous activities and following specific aftercare guidelines to promote healing. Dr. Lalezar will schedule follow-ups to monitor your progress and address any concerns. It’s crucial to wear compression garments as advised, avoid heavy lifting, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to enhance the surgical results.

Revision tummy tuck FAQs

How long after the initial tummy tuck can I have a revision?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 6 to 12 months after your initial tummy tuck before considering a revision. This waiting period allows your body to heal fully and the final results of the first surgery to become apparent.

How long does the surgery take?

The duration of a revision tummy tuck surgery can vary depending on the complexity of the corrections needed. On average, the procedure can take between 2 to 4 hours. Dr. Lalezar will provide a more precise estimate during your consultation.

What type of anesthesia is used?

Revision tummy tuck surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Dr. Lalezar and the anesthesiologist will discuss the best anesthesia options for you based on your medical history and personal preferences.

Will I have more scarring after a revision tummy tuck?

Dr. Lalezar aims to minimize additional scarring by making incisions along the existing scar lines whenever possible. However, some new scarring may occur. Advanced suturing techniques are used to ensure that any new scars are as inconspicuous as possible.
