What Is Revision
Plastic Surgery?

Revision plastic surgery is a specialized area of surgery focused on correcting, adjusting, or refining the results of a previous cosmetic or reconstructive procedure. It may involve subtle modifications or more complex surgical techniques, depending on the concerns being addressed and the nature of the original surgery. Because it builds upon existing surgical work, revision plastic surgery requires careful planning and an individualized approach to achieve optimal outcomes.

Types of Revision Plastic Surgery

Corrective or revision breast surgery is a procedure that corrects or improves the breast’s shape, form, and size after prior breast surgery.

A woman who has had prior cosmetic breast surgery (lift, augmentation, etc.) may experience changes to the shape of the breast or experience problems with the implant over time. Many of these changes may be unavoidable, while others may be due to technical mishaps at the initial surgery years prior. This can result in deformities that can be corrected through corrective surgery. Some of the most common reasons why individuals undergo corrective or breast revision surgeries include:
  • Complications that arise after breast implants or breast reconstruction procedures.
  • Cosmetic concerns or dissatisfaction with previous breast surgery (e.g., poor implant placement).
  • Unfavorable breast changes after weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy, or age-related cosmetic concerns.
  • Changes in the shape or position of an implant due to capsular contracture.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon will give you a thorough examination to identify your problem. Then, an individualized treatment plan will be created based on your specific desired improvements.
Tummy tuck revision is performed when the results of a previous abdominoplasty do not meet expectations or when changes in the body alter the initial outcome. This type of revision may address issues such as uneven contours, excess skin that remains after healing, or concerns with the scar placement. Because the abdominal area plays such a central role in body shape, careful refinement during a tummy tuck revision can restore a smoother, more natural appearance.
Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most common types of revision plastic surgery. It involves reshaping and restructuring the nose after an earlier rhinoplasty. Patients may seek this surgery to correct breathing difficulties, improve symmetry, or refine results that did not heal as planned. Due to the delicate anatomy of the nose and changes from prior surgery, revision rhinoplasty requires advanced surgical techniques and a tailored approach for each patient.
Revision eyelid surgery is designed to improve the results of a previous blepharoplasty, whether due to functional issues like eyelid tightness or drooping, or cosmetic concerns, such as asymmetry. This revision may involve adjusting skin, fat, or muscle in the upper or lower eyelids to achieve a more natural look. Because the eyelids are such a delicate and highly visible area, precision is critical in revision eyelid surgery.
Facial scar revision, sometimes referred to as scar revision surgery, focuses on minimizing the appearance of scars on the face caused by injury, surgery, or other trauma. These scars may include raised or irregular scar tissue that affects both appearance and self-confidence. The procedure often involves techniques to enhance the texture and appearance of scars, as well as to carefully close the skin in a manner that blends more seamlessly with the surrounding tissue.
Our surgical scar revision procedures target noticeable scarring across different areas of the body. This may include tummy tuck scar revision, as well as improvements to scars from other body procedures or injuries. Techniques can range from excising damaged skin and replacing it with healthy tissue to more advanced approaches, such as skin grafts. The goal of body scar revision is to soften the appearance of scars, improve skin texture, and help them integrate more naturally with surrounding areas.

Your Initial Consultation

A consultation is an essential step in planning revision plastic surgery, as it allows us to evaluate your concerns and create a personalized approach. During this appointment, factors such as scar formation, previous procedures, and overall health are carefully reviewed. A detailed discussion of your medical history helps us understand any underlying conditions or prior complications that may influence treatment. Consideration of your skin type and aesthetic needs also plays a key role, ensuring that recommendations are tailored to your unique situation. In some cases, options like surgical excision may be discussed as part of the strategy to achieve more refined results.
How Is Breast Revision Performed?
The main goal of a breast revision procedure is to fix cosmetic concerns or specific problems that occurred after the patient’s previous breast surgery. As such, the particular process involved in corrective surgery varies depending on your reason for doing the operation. There are several types of corrective breast surgeries a surgeon may perform depending on the patient’s primary concern. This includes the following: Problems and complications with breast implants. Concerns with the current implants on the breasts include ruptured implants, displacement, extrusion, and dynamic distortion. Our surgeon can perform corrective surgery by replacing, repairing, or removing the implants.

Fat transfer is for patients with breast contour defects or volume asymmetry. Our plastic surgeon uses liposuction techniques to extract fat from the patient’s own body, then transfers it to the breasts to correct contour problems.

Weight changes, pregnancy, and aging can cause shape and volume defects in your previous breast lift surgery. To fix this, most patients undergo corrective surgery that includes reshaping the breast and repositioning the nipples. Before undergoing a corrective surgical operation, your plastic surgeon will discuss the whole correction plan with you. They will explain the surgical techniques and corrective measures they plan on doing to address your problem and achieve your desired results.

Recovery After Revision Plastic Surgery

The first 24 hours after revision plastic surgery are focused on rest and careful monitoring of the surgical site. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected, and dressings or bandages are usually in place to protect the treated area. During this period, the healing process begins, and following your personalized care plan helps reduce complications.
In the first week, swelling and bruising typically become more visible before gradually subsiding. Stitches or drains, if placed, may be removed depending on the type of procedure performed. Attention to wound care is critical to support the formation of a healthy, healed wound. To facilitate a smooth recovery, Dr. Askari and Dr. Gerth provide detailed postoperative guidance tailored to each surgical plan.
As the weeks progress, discomfort lessens, and the surgical area continues to strengthen. During this time, it is often possible to resume normal activities that do not place strain on the healing site. Close observation helps ensure that scar tissue develops optimally, and protective measures against sun damage are strongly recommended to maintain the best aesthetic outcome.
The long-term phase of recovery focuses on the gradual fading and softening of scars, as well as the return of natural contour and function. The recovery process varies depending on the complexity of the revision and individual factors, such as skin type. Regular follow-up visits ensure the results are progressing as expected, with refinements in care to achieve the most balanced and natural outcome.
