Author Rod Davis, PA-C, Director of Surgery, Pacific Lipo
Have you had a prior liposculpture or liposuction procedure that didn’t quite meet the expectations that you were hoping for? There may be several reasons for this. You may have had unrealistic expectations to begin with despite your experienced liposuctionist explaining the limitations of the procedure and the individual challenges presented by your body type or skin tone prior your to surgery. It could also be due to the need for a completely different kind of procedure that would address a problem that additional lipo could not correct (ie., tummy tuck/abdominoplasty). Or it may be due to the need for an additional lipo treatment to the same area commonly called a “touch-up” or “revision” procedure. Fortunately, in most offices that specialize in liposuction, this is not a common procedure. However, specific indications for this kind of procedure depend on the physical appearance of the problem areas, the degree of laxity in one’s skin, subsequent weight loss or gain following your procedure, or changes in exercise patterns, etc. A touch up procedure is normally a quicker procedure re-using some or all of the same incisions. The aftercare is often easier and more manageable as well.
Speak with your liposuction specialist honestly regarding your expectations prior to any procedure. Following your procedure, return to the liposuction office or at least contact them on a regular basis to discuss how things are healing and anything that may be done to optimize your results. Try to follow the advice that is given to you without deviating on your own. Once healed, if you have not noticed the improvements that were discussed prior to your procedure, communicate that to the office which performed your procedure. Perhaps a simple touch up procedure would help you to achieve the results that you had originally hoped for.
