Bad Thigh Lift Results. Are Revisions Ever Done for Unhappy Patients?

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your results. It is not uncommon that a small revision is required on patients that require significant body contouring. Each physician has there own policy. In my practice I tell patients that if the revision is reasonable, that I have no problem doing it without a surgeons's fee if it is in the first year. I often can do revision, including dog ears, in the office under local anesthesia. Since this is done in the office there is no cost to the patient. Some revisions are more extensive and require going to the operating room. For these cases I personally do not charge them, but there will be a facility and anesthesia fee that they will be required to pay.

I'm sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your results.  In my own practice, I perform procedures such as dog ear revisions in the office with pain medicine and local anesthesia.  This is comfortable for patients and avoids the surgical facility fees associated with revisions in an operating room.  When the rare return to the operating room is necessary, this is a difficult situation.  I do not charge a professional fee.  Nevertheless, an anesthesia provider, nurse, and scrub technician are often required.  Unfortunately, these practioners require compensation.  Thus, it is ideal to avoid a return.  When it is necessary, each surgeon varies with their policy.  Occasionally, insurance will pay for anesthesia.  If you are considering a procedure in the future, be sure to discuss this possibility with your physician.
