When it comes to revising or repairing plastic surgery that has transformed for the worse over time or was never quite right in the beginning, choosing the right surgeon is paramount. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is performed to improve the waist line after child birth or weight loss. Some of the complications that occur can effect the patients enjoyment of their results and their feelings about their body. A second surgery can be performed to improve on the original tummy tuck.
“The revision of unsatisfactory plastic surgery brings additional complex challenges to the surgeon beyond primary plastic surgery,” explains Dr. Ryan Tsujimura. Dr. Tsujimura is a plastic surgery revision specialist, trained beyond basic plastic surgery to improve undesirable outcomes of a tummy tuck surgery. Wide or misplaced scars, pinched skin at the incision, inadequate skin or fat removal, persistent muscle laxity, malposition of belly-button are all reasons Dr. Tsujimura’s patients trust him to repair and improve their tummy tuck.
Surgical Technique
A revision tummy tuck is suitable for both men and women. The incision usually follows the original incision or can be lowered if needed and may be extended further if required to get the desired result. It is commonly performed on women who have additional pregnancies after their first tummy tuck or who have persistant excess skin or muscle laxity. During this surgery, the incision extends from hipbone to hipbone, which grants access to a greater portion of the deep structures. Liposuction is used to remove fat and the abdominal muscles are pulled and tightly secured. The belly button is repositioned for natural placement, if necessary.
Revision Tummy Tuck Reviews
Dr Tsujimura did a breast augmentation & tummy tuck on me in 2006, I am still to this day very pleased with my results on my breast augmentation. My tummy was amazing as well. I love the corset stitch he did on me, it gave me more of an hour glass figure. But my belly button I am not pleased with, I thought after some years it will get better and look more natural. But that never happen it doesn't look right still after all these years and you can tell it was man made. I have a lot of friends comment on how it looks specially in the summer when I wore a two piece by which I do not anymore due to that reason.
Life changing - This man works miracles. He is very professional with down to earth attitude so don't let the SCOTTSDALE ATTITUDE scare you away. I had a tummy tuck and my flabby arms done at 65 after losing lots of weight. After becoming a widow my outlook on life was that it was over and I was destined to live the rest of my life ugly and alone because no one would ever want me. Fortunately I found Dr. T and he was so patient and actually funny that each visit was like seeing a friend. I now have a bright future and a new friend. I"m thinking of a face lift. Not to look younger because the rest of my body will tell the truth but to feel better about ME not for anyone else. Just keep your fingers crossed I can come up with the money before I'm too old for the surgery. Lol Keep smiling It will keep you young!
Loved my tummy tuck - I got a full tummy tuck and lipo with Dr. T back in 2015. I loved my results! He truly took the time to answer my question, I never felt rushed or stupid for asking a question. I Totally trusted him and he really did a great job. Amazing doctor!

Got a model bikini body from Dr. T - I had a full tummy tuck in 2013. At first I wasn't sure if I was a candidate, but Tsujimura's bedside manner was such a selling point for me to get this procedure. He is competent, easy to talk to, attentive, and confident. He never made me feel like he was rushing me out the door. What I loved most was that he seemed genuinely excited to do my tummy tuck and the results he thought he could...

During/After Surgery
A tummy tuck is performed under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) sedation in our surgical facility and typically takes around 4-5 hours to complete. It is considered an outpatient procedure. After surgery, patients will wear an abdominal binder for four weeks. They should make a concerted effort to move around in order to help promote blood circulation, but should only attempt to initially stand at a 45-degree angle to protect the incision. Pain medication will be provided as well as a pain pump to help with post-operative pain. Clearance to resume exercise is usually given around 4-6 weeks.

About UsRevision Tummy Tuck FAQs
What does a tummy tuck revision cost?
The cost of a revision tummy tuck varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the procedure, the extent of work needed, and the specific treatment plan. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized estimate based on your unique situation.
Are revision tummy tucks covered by insurance?
Revision tummy tucks are typically considered cosmetic and may not be covered by insurance. However, if the revision is necessary due to complications from a previous surgery or for medical reasons, there may be some cases where coverage is possible. We can help you explore your options and work with you to understand your insurance benefits.
Will I have scars after my revision tummy tuck?
Scarring is a natural part of any tummy tuck procedure, including a revision. While we take care to minimize the appearance of scars, it is important to understand that some scarring will remain. Over time, the scars will usually fade and become less noticeable, but the extent of scarring depends on various factors, including your skin type and how your body heals.
