Thank you for your question whether your belt lipectomy correction is possible. Basically, in plastic surgery most things are correctable. However, towards the end of plastic surgical corrections, there is a law of diminishing returns. That means with each correction, the overall improvement gets less and less. For you, however, it is way too early to determine if you will need any corrections. You are not even three months from your prior surgery. I would suggest you wait another three months, therefore, six months after your initial procedure, and then reassess. Often, the incision and scars can be revised and corrected. However, if you look the same in three months, I would then suggest liposuction for correction of fat excess above the scar. However, I truly believe, by waiting another three months, you will NOT need any corrections whatsoever. Good luck. Thank you for your question regarding whether revision is possible with a belt lipectomy. I specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss. If you have any more questions regarding the lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy please contact my office. Since the body lift is a big procedure, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 circumferential lower body lift surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
