Tummy Tuck Revision Surgery Before and After

The procedure is designed to benefit people who have had abdominal surgery in the past and were unhappy with the results. Poor results can be disheartening, and therefore, Dr Yunaev takes care to help patients achieve the results they wanted with their first surgery.

Revision surgery aims to improve the overall outcome of the past procedure in order to give patients a more attractive midsection and greater confidence. There are many things that could lead someone to pursue this procedure, such as:

• Large or poor scarring
• Remaining excess skin
• Uneven skin or fat position
• Failure of muscle repair
• Post-op changes such as further weight loss or gain
• Further changes caused by another pregnancy

We can address these issues with abdominoplasty revision surgery. Speak to Dr Yunaev to find out how the procedure can help you achieve your goals.

Abdominoplasty revision surgery may not be for everyone. In order to find out if you are suitable, a meeting with us is required. At your private consult, we will assess your concerns as well as discuss your past procedure(s). You can express your concerns to us, and we will aim to create a treatment plan that fulfils your wishes.

Generally, ideal patients include people who:

• Have had tummy tuck surgery in the past
• Wish to correct issues from the prior procedure, such as poor scarring or remaining excess skin
• Are over 18 years of age
• Are not pregnant or nursing
• Do not plan to be pregnant in the future
• Have a realistic vision for the results

Although the surgery often corrects issues from a past surgery, it can also help people who have experienced changes since their surgery. For example, this can include people who have excess skin from further weight loss or women who have had another pregnancy.

Like the initial surgery, tummy tuck revision involves adjusting the abdominal tissue. It will occur in a hospital, and patients will be asleep for their procedure, which means there should not be any pain.

Dr Yunaev will place the incision close to your original scar in order to minimise extra scar tissue. Then, he will begin adjusting the skin and surrounding tissue as needed. Depending on your needs, Dr Yunaev may adjust the skin, fat tissue, or the muscle underneath. Once he has made the required changes, he will close the wound, and you can begin the healing phase.

Once your body has healed, you can enjoy less skin sagging and muscle laxity, and a satisfying outcome.

At the Breast and Body Clinic, we understand that abdominoplasty revision surgery requires a personal, case by case approach. During your consult, we will speak to you about your goals and design a bespoke treatment plan that meets your needs. You can then achieve a smoother and more refined looking abdomen.
