What's in the minds behind plastic surgeons who has to fix or clean up what some other doctors messed up?? The real truth if possible:) I manage a successful dental office and often tell patients the hard truth bc I sincerely care, not to scare them but sometimes as professionals, you can foresee the results, based on your experiences. So why isn't there as many PS out there who will fix botch jobs??

Answer: Complexity of revision abdominoplasty Revision of any surgical procedure may be significantly more challenging then original surgery, ultimately more expensive and with inferior result then if primary procedure ended without complications. It is very hard to explain that fact to a patient and promise improvement but still inferior result then she (he) initially expected. Patients frequently have difficulties to understand and accept the fact that evary commplication and less then expected result of surgical procedure does not have to be a mistake of a surgeon; very frequently comorbidities (obesity, smoking, chronic deasease, non-compliance, etc.) may contribute to a poor surgical outcome. Faced with a complexity of surgery and patient mental status, many surgeons would avoid doing revisional surgery or delay it for a longer period based on individual evaluation.

Answer: We Love to Do Revisions! Hello,There are many surgeons like myself who do a lot of revision surgery. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in body contouring surgery. If there is something we can do to make it better, I think most of us would be willing to take the challenge. Best of luck!
