I had liposuction in conjunction with an abdominoplasty in February of last year. I am scheduled to have the same area (flank/hips) redone on the 22nd of January. My question is, could the recovery period be any less intense for a revision? The first round of lipo was pretty painful, and I was wondering if maybe, there is a chance that patients report less sensitivity when having the same area done a second time.

Answer: Convalescence from revision liposuction is generally easier than primary. I'm a bit surprised that convalescence was so hard. Most liposuction patients or sore but not in particular pain. Generally revisions are more limited so the convalescence is easier.

Answer: Revision of Liposuction You can anticipate the discomfort should be the same, if the surgeon uses the same technique and tumescent formula. The only difficulty may be for the surgeon. With secondary liposuction, the surgeon will encounter more scarring and more difficulty passing the cannula through the tissues. Thank you for your question.Joseph C Berardi MD

Answer: Secondary Liposuction Generally, a repeat liposuction procedure should not be that much different than the first procedure. However, there is more scar tissue within the fat, so the results may be more unpredictable.
