What is Corrective Plastic Surgery?

Corrective plastic surgery fixes problems from previous cosmetic procedures that didn’t heal properly or didn’t meet your expectations. This might include uneven results, scarring, or complications that happened after your first surgery. Our doctors have years of experience handling these challenging cases and know how to address issues that other surgeons may have missed.

Whether you need minor adjustments or major reconstruction, we work with you to create a plan that gets you back on track. Learn more about our consultation process to discuss your specific situation.

What Can Corrective Plastic Surgery Accomplish?

We can address many different issues from previous procedures:

  • Fix uneven or asymmetrical results from earlier surgeries
  • Reduce visible scarring and improve healing
  • Correct overcorrection or undercorrection issues
  • Address complications like infection or poor wound healing

Corrective Plastic Surgery Techniques

We use different approaches depending on what needs to be fixed:

Scar Revision

We carefully remove or minimize thick, raised, or discolored scars that formed after your previous surgery. This might involve cutting out the old scar and closing the area with finer stitching techniques.

Tissue Reconstruction

When too much tissue was removed during the first surgery, we can rebuild the area using your own tissue from other parts of your body or advanced grafting methods.

Symmetry Correction

We adjust areas where one side healed differently than the other, creating a more balanced and natural appearance that matches your original goals.

Implant Revision

If implants shifted, became infected, or caused other problems, we can replace them, reposition them, or remove them entirely based on what you prefer.

Procedures Commonly Combined with Corrective Plastic Surgery

We often combine corrective work with other treatments for the best results:

Fat Grafting

We use fat from other areas of your body to fill in areas where too much tissue was removed or to create smoother contours.

Laser Treatments

Laser therapy can improve skin texture, reduce redness, and help scars fade more completely after the corrective surgery heals.

Injectable Treatments

Sometimes small amounts of fillers or muscle relaxers can fine-tune results without needing additional surgery.

Skin Resurfacing

Chemical peels or microneedling can improve the overall appearance of your skin and help blend corrected areas with surrounding tissue.

How Much Does Corrective Plastic Surgery Cost?

Corrective surgery costs vary widely because every situation is different. Some cases need minor adjustments while others require extensive reconstruction. During your consultation, we’ll examine your specific concerns and give you a detailed estimate.

Recovery & Results

Recovery from corrective surgery often takes longer than the original procedure because we’re working with already-healed tissue. Most people need 2-4 weeks before returning to normal activities, though this depends on how extensive the correction needs to be. Swelling and bruising are normal and usually fade within the first two weeks. Full results typically become visible after 3-6 months as everything settles into place. Most patients are much happier with their appearance after corrective surgery and feel more confident about their decision to have the work done.

Candidates for Corrective Plastic Surgery

You might be a good candidate for corrective surgery if you have:

  • Results from previous surgery that don’t match what you expected
  • Complications like infection, poor scarring, or asymmetry
  • Realistic expectations about what corrective surgery can achieve
  • Good overall health and ability to heal properly

Frequently Asked Questions About Corrective Plastic Surgery

How do I know if I need corrective surgery or if I just need to wait longer for healing?
Great question – this confuses a lot of people. Most surgeries take 6-12 months to show final results, so it’s normal to look uneven or swollen for quite a while. However, if you’re past the one-year mark and still seeing major asymmetry, thick scarring, or other obvious problems, that’s when corrective surgery might help. We always recommend waiting at least a full year before considering any corrections unless there’s a serious complication that needs immediate attention.
Will insurance cover corrective surgery if my first surgery had complications?
Unfortunately, insurance rarely covers corrective cosmetic surgery, even when the original procedure had complications. Insurance companies typically consider these elective procedures. However, if the complication is causing functional problems – like difficulty closing your eyes after eyelid surgery – there might be some coverage.
Is corrective surgery more risky than the original procedure?
Corrective surgery can be more challenging because we’re working with scar tissue and altered anatomy. It’s not necessarily more risky when done by experienced surgeons. The key is choosing someone who specializes in revision work and has handled cases like yours before. We take extra precautions and plan more carefully for corrective procedures, which actually helps minimize risks.
Can the same surgeon who did my original surgery do the corrective work?
While your original surgeon might offer to fix the problem, many patients prefer getting a second opinion from a different doctor who specializes in corrective work. There’s no rule saying you have to stick with the same surgeon, and sometimes a fresh perspective can lead to better solutions. Whatever makes you feel most comfortable and confident is the right choice.
How long should I wait before having corrective surgery?
We usually recommend waiting at least 12 months after your original surgery before doing any major corrections. This gives your body time to heal completely and lets us see the true final results. For minor touch-ups, we might be able to work sooner, but major revisions need that full healing time. Rushing into corrective surgery too early can actually make things worse and limit your options later on.
