Revision Plastic Surgery

Revision plastic surgery aims to correct or improve poor results from prior cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Unfortunately not every plastic surgery procedure leads to perfect results. Unnatural results are the most common complaints with plastic surgery. Other imperfections associated with prior plastic surgery include visible poor scarring, asymmetry or uneven results from one side of the body to the other, deformity, and unsatisfactory results.

Some of these unfortunate results of plastic surgery are avoidable while others are merely due to how your body heals in response to surgery. Based on our genetics and overall health, we all heal differently from surgery. While some people form the most minimal scars and have the shortest recovery, others form thick visible scarring or have a prolonged recovery. Inability to connect with the patients and understand their needs, outdated techniques, under-experienced or poorly trained surgeons, poor judgment, misinterpretations of the underlying problem, or chance may also play a role in unsatisfactory outcomes. Often, plastic surgery mistakes will correct themselves over time. When the visibly poor results do not resolve over the first six months to one year, they can be devastating. In such cases, there are typically multiple solutions to address your concerns.
