"Tummy Tuck" refers to a procedure aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the abdominal region. In some instances, individuals may opt for a tummy tuck revision, which addresses complications or undesired outcomes from a prior tummy tuck.
Employing various techniques, Dr. Agha and his associates can address specific correction needs to achieve the desired appearance, including tightening abdominal muscles and refining skin contour as well as improving scar placement. The primary objective is to achieve a firmer, more toned abdomen with visually pleasing proportions and contours. In most instances, they are also able to convert a flat abdomen after a standard tummy tuck to a naturally defined and three-dimensional contour by employing Dr. Agha’s high-definition tummy tuck techniques. Dr. Agha has been redoing and revising tummy tucks for many years at Newport Beach and has a dedicated gallery page for his tummy tuck redos.
A tummy tuck revision or tummy tuck redo can improve the results of a previous tummy tuck surgery. Here are some common reasons why people choose to have this procedure:
Scar Concerns: The scar from your initial surgery may be too high, uneven, or thicker than desired. Also, the scar may be asymmetrical from one side to another. A revision can address these issues. To lower a tummy tuck incision by 1 or more inches, it may be necessary to redo the tummy tuck again so that the whole abdominal skin can be lowered.
Incomplete Muscle Tightening: If your abdominal muscles weren't tightened sufficiently during the first surgery, a revision can address this for a flatter stomach. This is especially the case when the skin is tight, but the patient still has a protruding belly.
Lack of Monsplasty: Monsplasty refines the appearance of the pubic mound. Most individuals who need a tummy tuck, also have pubic sagging. With the standard tummy tuck, a pubic lift is often not done. If this wasn't included initially, a revision can be added. In our practice, a monsplasty is always done with our low-cut tummy tucks. The reason is that we want the tummy and pubic skin to come together on one plane.
Remaining Excess Skin: If you have remaining excess skin on your upper or lower abdomen, you may need a revision tummy tuck to remove the excess skin and lower the tummy tuck incision if desired.
Excess Fat: If you mainly have excess remaining fat, it may be possible to liposuction or liposculpt the abdomen after a previous tummy tuck. However, if a significant amount of liposuction is needed, additional skin excision in the form of a lipoabdominoplasty may be warranted. During lipoabdominoplasty, both liposuction and abdominoplasty can be performed in selected patients.
If you're experiencing any of these issues after a tummy tuck, a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons can help you determine if a revision is right for you.

Tummy tuck revision at The Aesthetic Centers results in a more sculpted and aesthetically pleasing abdomen. With proper care, these improvements can be long-lasting, allowing you to feel confident and comfortable in your clothes. The possibilities don't end there; combining a tummy tuck with additional procedures such as trans-abdominal breast augmentation, monsplasty, anterior thigh lift, and abdominal hernia repair promises an all-encompassing enhancement for a remarkable outcome.
While a tummy tuck revision can address various concerns, timing is crucial for the best outcome. Ideally, wait nine to twelve months after your initial tummy tuck.
Here's why waiting matters:
Healing Time: A full tummy tuck recovery takes about six months. A revision too soon can disrupt this process and potentially lead to complications.
Settling Results: After surgery, swelling subsides, and your body adjusts. Waiting allows you to see your final results and ensures revisions address genuine concerns, not temporary swelling.
In rare cases, a revision might be necessary sooner than a year. If you experience significant infection, bleeding, or other serious issues, a revision might be needed to address them.
Ultimately, the best time for a revision depends on your situation. For more personalized guidance, discuss your concerns and recovery progress with Dr. Agha, a board-certified plastic surgeon.
You are under anesthesia during the procedure and will not feel any discomfort. However, while you’re recovering, you can alleviate discomfort with our comprehensive pain management approach.
Every abdominoplasty revision surgery is different. Dr. Agha typically uses the original incision and attempts to remove and replace it with a lower one.
If you need abdominal muscle re-tightening to repair for recti diastasis that remains, then a complete tummy tuck redo is necessary.
If your abdominal muscle repair is adequate, then a skin-only tummy tuck redo may be sufficient.
If you wish to lower your incision by more than 1 inch, a full skin elevation and lowering may be necessary. This can be done by employing the floating navel technique with or without muscle tightening.
If a scar revision is necessary, then it may be possible to just excise the old scar and redo it.
We will discuss your options with you at the time of consultation and determine what will serve you best.
