Lipo Revision of TT; is it Painful?

Tummy tucks are usually more painful than most plastic surgery procedures because the muscles are usually sewn together tightly. A revisional using liposuction should have much less discomfort. Most of my patients that have liposuction using the tumescent technique only need Tylenol after surgery, although some will use a stronger oral medication for a day or so, according to their pain tolerance.

The pain will depend on what type of revision your plastic surgeon is planning to do, what type of anesthesia (local, sedation, general) is going to be utilized and the degree of your pain threshold.  Your plastic surgeon will be able to better answer those to you.  In general, the revision surgery is not as extensive as the primary (initial) surgery; therefore, I would expect that the pain would be a lot less.
