Liposuction revision is an invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at fixing irregularities that have resulted from a previous liposuction procedure. Asymmetries may result from improperly performed liposuction or body structure issues such as loose skin. Those desiring liposuction revision typically have to wait until six months after the original liposuction procedure to have the corrections made. Liposuction revision may be necessary if too little, or too much fat was removed during a previous procedure. Fat transfer may be performed in cases where too much fat was removed. Liposuction revision requires careful planning and execution.
The cost of liposuction revision depends on why the procedure is being repeated, the complexity of the surgery, whether other treatments are being included in the procedure, the number of sessions required to correct the issue, and fees charged by the plastic surgeon.
Pain, swelling, and bruising are common following liposuction revision surgery. Some seepage from the incision sites may occur as well. Pain medication and ice packs can help to alleviate these symptoms. A compression device may need to be worn during recovery. After just a few days, most patients are back to baseline, although strenuous activity should be avoided for at least six weeks.

Liposonix
Liposonix is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound to eliminate fat and sculpt the body. The skin and underlying tissues are unaffected as the treatment destroy fat located at specific depths within the tissue. Liposonix treatments typically take around an hour and produce drastic results within a short period of time. Since Liposonix is a non-invasive procedure, no compressive device will need to be worn after the treatment.
Cool Sculpting
Cool sculpting freezes fat to help rid it and provide a more attractive figure. This treatment destroys the fat without harming any of the adjoining tissues. Cool sculpting can be used by itself or other treatments to reach the ideal outcome. It is a low-risk procedure and shorter recovery time than invasive surgeries.
Zerona
Zerona is a fat-blasting treatment that is performed using a cool laser tool. This therapy is carried out by placing the tool over the region where fat is being eliminated. The fat is destroyed and emitted through microscopic holes that the Zerona device forms. Zerona is a painless treatment performed during an office visit and involves no significant recovery time.
UltraShape
UltraShape is a cosmetic treatment that uses ultrasound therapy to stress fat cells and causes them to rupture. The body then sees the exploded fat cells as waste and eliminates them through the usual processes. UltraShape is a painless treatment that can be performed in under 90 minutes and requires no downtime.
