Abdominoplasty Revision


Abdominoplasty revision is a very gratifying procedure at the Hunstad Center. When a patient has undergone an abdominoplasty elsewhere and hasn't achieved the results they desire it can be a very disappointing and frustrating situation. For these patients, revision abdominoplasty has proven very effective.

By performing thorough liposuction, very strong muscle tightening, and designing a procedure to deliver thinning, tightening, and flattening, outstanding results can be achieved with an impressive level of patient satisfaction. Many times, the previous abdominoplasty was inadequately performed. Often little or no concurrent liposuction was performed at the initial procedure leaving the thickness of the fat much greater than desired. Also, we frequently see that a minimal or no muscle tightening was done which is so vitally important to achieve a flat tight abdomen and a marked improvement in the waistline. We often encounter significant scarring but this is removed during the revision abdominoplasty procedure.

 

This patient had previously underwent an unsuccessful abdominoplasty and had several existing scars, which are marked in Red. This required the final scar to be placed higher than optimal. The results from the second procedure, however, demonstrate excellent flattening, lifting, and tightening.  The redness in the scars fade to a fine white line as with all other scars.
