Usually it is most cost effective to stay with your original surgeon, as he definitely wants happy patients and is likely to work with you to ensure this.

Abdominoplasty scar revision

The cost of a revision of your scar can vary from surgeon to surgeon tremendously. Your best option is with your original surgeon.  Usually surgeons are more apt to "fix" their own results at a lower cost than those of others.

Every office is different.

The fees for a revision of an abdominoplasty will be based on the exact nature of the work that needs to be done in order to achieve your desired results. These fees will typically be lower if the surgeon is performing a minor revision. If you still have confidence in your original surgeon, consult with him/her first. Best of luck!

Usually not, but it varies
