Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure. While most patients are happy with their results, revisions may be necessary to correct unsatisfactory outcomes. Dr. Kenrick Spence, an Orlando plastic surgeon, specializes in revision liposuction to improve skin irregularities, smooth uneven fatty deposits, and achieve the desired contour.
Indications for Revision Liposuction
- Sagging Skin: Removing additional fat from already sagging skin can worsen drooping. Determine if you are a good candidate before undergoing liposuction or being enticed by skin tightening devices.
- Dimpling or Concave Contour: Uniform fat removal is key to a successful liposuction procedure. Traditional liposuction requires delicate and even fat extraction to avoid concaving or dimpling.
- Silhouette Imbalance: Revision liposuction requires an artistic sense of body shape to enhance the silhouette. Specialized techniques can remove fat from previously treated areas (liposuction, mesotherapy, Smartlipo™).
Three-Dimensional Approach
Aesthetic harmony requires attention to detail for a three-dimensional approach. An unfinished look results from:
- A flat abdomen with a wide waist
- A flat abdomen, narrow waist with wide hips and lack of tapered knees
- Thick ankles
Dr. Spence focuses on how each body area "fits" with surrounding areas to create three-dimensional body harmony. During consultations, he guides patients to visualize their desired total body image, considering:
- Detailed drawings
- Evaluation of skin tone
- Height and weight
- Torso length
- Thigh length
- Shoulder width
All these factors are considered during the consultation for three-dimensional body sculpting.
What to Expect During Your Revision Liposuction Procedure
Our providers will use various advanced surgical techniques during your revision to minimize an uneven appearance and dimpling, reduce loose skin, and fill any overcorrected areas from your first procedure. Because you’ll be under general anesthesia, you won’t feel anything during the surgery. After your liposuction revision, you’ll typically be monitored for several hours before being cleared to go home.
