Understanding Tummy Tuck Revision Surgery

Tummy tuck revision surgery offers patients an opportunity to correct unsatisfactory results from previous abdominoplasty procedures. Prime Plastic Surgery specializes in addressing complex surgical revisions for patients in the San Diego area who are seeking improved aesthetic outcomes.

Common Reasons for Tummy Tuck Revision

• Scars positioned too high
• Irregular or uneven surgical scars
• Dog-ear tissue formations
• Unsatisfactory belly button appearance or placement
• Abdominal wall asymmetry

Surgical Approach for Scar Revision

Prime Plastic Surgery's surgeons utilize specialized techniques to minimize scarring, particularly for patients with olive or darker skin complexions. During initial consultations, surgeons carefully measure and mark potential revision sites to ensure optimal symmetry and aesthetic outcomes.

Specialized Techniques for Complex Revisions

Each tummy tuck revision is uniquely tailored to address the specific concerns of individual patients. The surgical team takes extensive measurements and uses precise marking techniques to guide the revision process, ensuring improved contour and scar placement.

Ethnic Skin Considerations

For patients with African American or ethnic skin types, Prime Plastic Surgery employs advanced wound closure techniques to minimize the risk of excessive scarring. Special approaches are used to prevent keloid formation and promote optimal healing.

Tummy tuck revision can be performed under local anesthesia in the office or under general anesthesia in an operating room, depending on the complexity of the required correction. The goal is always to create a more aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical abdominal contour.
