A lot of fat still remains
Liposuction was performed, but enough subcutaneous fat remains that the change is hard to feel.

Revision Liposuction
Revision surgery must be approached with far greater care and detail. The key is to overcome the severe adhesion and insufficient fat volume left by the first surgery, and to sculpt each fat cell so the contour is corrected smoothly without unevenness and regenerates quickly.
Liposuction Revision Surgery
TheLINE plans unevenness restoration, contour re-correction and removal of remaining fat in a single design.

When satisfaction with the first surgery is low or uneven results need correction, it is surgery that clears the remaining fat and rebuilds the collapsed contour.
Because the severe adhesion and the insufficient fat volume left by the first surgery have to be overcome together. That is why revision must be approached with far greater care and detail.
Each fat cell is handled as if sculpted so the contour is corrected smoothly, and depressed areas are filled with fat grafting to even out the surface.
Tissue that has already been injured once recovers more slowly. Using SVF obtained from the fat supports regeneration and helps achieve a smooth correction.
Since 2007, over 19 years, TheLINE has worked only with liposuction and SVF and has built up 80,000 body contouring cases, and that experience goes directly into planning and performing revision surgery.
Liposuction Revision Types
Check first whether your condition is a candidate for liposuction revision.
Liposuction was performed, but enough subcutaneous fat remains that the change is hard to feel.
Side effects of the surgery have left the surface uneven, depressed or discolored.
The contour of the area treated in the first surgery was not smoothly corrected and needs refining again.
Revision Solution
From remaining fat to SVF regeneration, every step in one surgery.

Surgery Information
Operation time, anesthesia and recovery for liposuction revision.
By condition
Operation time varies with the extent of the revision and the degree of adhesion. It is explained individually after consultation and testing.
Sedation or general
Sedation or general anesthesia is used depending on the patient's condition. General anesthesia is handled directly by our board-certified anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist.
Micro-incision
Micro-incisions are placed where they are least visible depending on the area, such as inside the armpit, the pelvic crease or the tailbone area.
Day 7
Sutures are removed at a clinic visit on the 7th day after surgery.
2 sessions
Two aftercare sessions are provided while monitoring recovery.
3 days full-time
The compression garment is worn all day for the first 3 days after surgery, and additionally thereafter according to your condition.
※ The cost of revision surgery is quoted according to your condition and may differ by operating surgeon. VAT, blood test, compression garment and asymmetry correction grafting are charged separately.
Expected Results & Limits
The changes you can expect, and the limits you should know.
MORE FAT REMOVED
Using SVF alongside helps a larger volume be suctioned safely in a single session.
LESS BRUISING
The regenerative action of SVF supports recovery, reducing the burden of bruising, swelling and pain.
SMOOTH RECORRECTION
Unevenness is restored with the goal of a contour more refined than after the first surgery. The regenerative effect of SVF is felt first by the patients who have had the procedure.
NO FAT LEFT
If there is little to no fat left to remove, it is difficult to even out an uneven subcutaneous contour.
SEVERE NECROSIS
If there is severe necrosis beyond simple depressions, surgery may not be feasible depending on the surgeon's assessment.
