What is Revision Plastic Surgery?
We provide consultations for patients who have previously undergone cosmetic surgery and need assessment for revision or corrective surgery — whether because of an unsatisfactory result, changes over time or complications. Each revision case requires an individual evaluation, because previous surgery can significantly affect anatomy and surgical planning.
Who is it for? Anyone unhappy with the result of previous cosmetic surgery, or experiencing problems after it.

Safety and risks
Like any surgery, this procedure carries risks such as bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry and anaesthesia-related complications. Previous surgery changes the anatomy, so revision can be more complex and results may be more limited. Your surgeon will explain your individual risks and how they are minimised.
Frequently asked questions
Am I a good candidate?
Good candidates are in good general health, non-smokers (or willing to stop), with realistic expectations. Your surgeon decides after assessment.
How long should I wait after my first surgery?
Usually at least 6–12 months, unless there is a medical reason to act sooner.
Can any surgery be revised?
Many can be improved, but each case needs individual evaluation.
Will it fully correct the problem?
Your surgeon will explain realistic goals after examination.
Surgical procedures require a surgeon consultation and pre-operative assessment. Results and risks vary between individuals.
