What Is Revision Liposuction Treatment? 

Revision liposuction treatment is a procedure that is performed to fix lipo irregularities or unevenness in the results of a previous liposuction procedure. It is also known as liposuction correction or lipo-shifting.

This treatment is typically recommended for patients unhappy with the results of their previous liposuction procedure or those who have experienced complications or unevenness in the treated area.

Typical liposuction irregularities can refer to any imperfections or uneven liposuction results, such as:

  • Lumps or bumps can occur if the fat is not evenly distributed or the skin is not tightened correctly after the procedure.
  • Unevenness: This can happen if the surgeon removes more fat from one area than another, resulting in an uneven appearance.
  • Contour irregularities: This may occur if the fat is not evenly distributed, resulting in a wavy or uneven appearance.

Other lipo irregularities can include:

  • Numbness or tingling: This can be a side effect of the procedure and may be temporary or permanent.
  • Scarring: Liposuction requires incisions, which can result in scarring.
  • Changes in skin color: The skin may appear lighter or darker in certain areas after the procedure.
  • Asymmetry may occur if one side of the body looks different after the procedure.

Revision Lipo (Fat Removal in Turkey) Recovery Time

Typical laser liposuction is usually minimalistic and involves nonsurgical fat removal meaning that you will not experience a lot of bruising or blood loss, as the incisions are much smaller.

You will be given a compression garment for the first 14 days which helps apply pressure to the affected areas. The swelling fades after the second week and you should be able to return to mild activities like work after a week.  You can expect full results of recovery after 3 months. 

How is Revision Liposuction Performed?

Revision liposuction is a surgical treatment and that is why the surgeon will first administer a local anesthetic and will start the procedure by making small incisions on the target areas. 

From here the surgeon will remove the undesired fat using laser tools which make the fat cells loosen up and be sucked out via the suction tube. After the unwanted fat has been removed, the surgeon will suture the incisions and then give you a compression garment which you will wear to reduce swelling.

 

Step1. Consultation

The first step in the revision liposuction process is to meet with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals for the procedure. During the consultation, the surgeon will examine the treated area and assess your overall health to determine if revision liposuction is right for you.

Step2. Pre-operative evaluation

Before the procedure, you will undergo a pre-operative evaluation to ensure that you are healthy enough for surgery. This may include a physical examination, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic tests.

Step3. Anesthesia

On the day of the procedure, you will be given either local anesthesia or intravenous sedation to numb the area and minimize discomfort.

Step4. Incision

The surgeon will make small incisions in the treated area and insert a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out the excess fat.

Step5. Fat removal

The surgeon will use the cannula to remove the excess fat from the treated area gently.

Step6. Skin tightening

If necessary, the surgeon may also perform skin tightening procedures to improve the contour and smoothness of the treated area.

Step7.Closing the incisions

Once the procedure is completed, the incisions will be closed and bandaged. You may be able to return home the same day after the procedure, although some may need to stay overnight in the hospital for observation. You will likely need to wear a compression garment for a few weeks to help with swelling and support the treated area as it heals.

It's important to follow your surgeon's post-treatment instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results and minimize the risk of complications. You should also schedule follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have.
