Exploring Revisionary Options with Dr. Bolitho

When a woman wants to enhance her abdominal area, she often seeks surgical options such as an abdominoplasty. Also referred to as a tummy tuck, the surgical goal is to redefine her abdomen and waistline. This newer silhouette includes a flatter abdomen and slimmer waist via surgical intervention. However, following an abdominoplasty, a patient may not be pleased with her surgical outcome.

In other instances, she may have had a complication which motivated her to seek a revision. While some patients feel comfortable partnering with their original surgeon, others opt to seek out another board certified plastic surgeon for their revision. This decision may surface months or even years following the primary operation.
