If a tummy tuck needs a revision, is it safe to have this done 3-4 months after the original procedure? I'm still early on but both my Doctor and his Nurse have mentioned a revision may be necessary and I'll be speaking with them about it at my next appointment. Ideally for me it will be sooner than later as I'd like to be healed and out of garments before hot weather. If I go into for revision I'll also be doing lipo or arms and front/back bra roll so there will be lots of compression garments to wear.
