A Choice You Can Feel Good About
The goal of plastic surgery is to correct aesthetic deformities or make specific improvements to the face or physique. If it fails to do so or creates further damage to a patient’s appearance, it warrants revision to provide the desired results. Having to undergo an additional surgery can be a discouraging and expensive prospect. That’s why it’s so important to seek an experienced surgeon whose specialties include Revision Plastic Surgery procedures. Dr. Gregory Albert believes every patient is entitled to surgical outcomes they love. He specializes in complex cases and takes pride in giving patients excellent results, no matter the outcome of a previous procedure performed by another doctor. If you have been ghosted after a botched procedure, Dr. Albert is not afraid to correct another surgeon’s work.
Take a New Approach
Our Boca Raton Revision Plastic Surgery procedures are performed to correct the outcome of an initial surgery that failed to provide satisfactory results. And unfortunately, the demand for these kinds of surgeries is on the rise. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that 2,314,720 cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2020.
But with booming plastic surgery rates also comes a higher rate of undesired outcomes. There’s a lot that can go wrong during any medical procedure. Surgeons with inadequate training or experience can make grave errors. Patients can neglect the responsibility to select qualified plastic surgeon, and vice versa. But even in the best of circumstances, unforeseen complications can arise during surgery or the recovery process.
Elective procedures are just that, the choice of the patient. Without the proper guidance, many patients are not well-informed before their treatment. Bargain shopping and medical tourism are also risk factors for patients looking for low-cost procedures. Men and women seeking surgical services should be wary of prices that sound too good to be true, as well as cautious of surgeons who make outrageous claims. Plastic surgery is a lucrative industry, and unqualified surgeons can and will neglect patient welfare in the interest of profit. Unfortunately, many patients find this out the hard way, which is the reason we offer Revision Plastic Surgery in Boca Raton at the Optimization Centre.
Dr. Gregory Albert believes that every patient is entitled to results that fulfill their desires and improve their quality of life. He regularly performs Revision Plastic Surgery procedures and truly enjoys helping patients and the challenge of complex cases.
All potential candidates for a Revision Plastic Surgery should undergo the necessary anatomical examinations required beforehand. Patients who seek revision surgery should be in good general health and have realistic expectations of what a revision surgery can achieve. It is, therefore, the responsibility of doctor and patient to discuss treatment options, procedural details, and likely outcomes at length before a revision surgery takes place. We offer every patient an opportunity to ask questions to discover more about revision surgery and the unique risks and results involved in each individual case. The best way to do this is during a personal consultation with Dr. Albert.
Choosing to undergo a plastic surgery procedure is a commitment of time, energy, and finances. Unfortunately, after some plastic surgeries, a growing percentage of patients are left with unsightly scarring, poor healing, or even serious infections. Incongruencies in body silhouette can also be an issue, especially with fat removal procedures that may remove too much or too little tissue. Asymmetry and unnatural appearance can also add to a patient’s overall aesthetic concerns, which in turn can cause stress, anxiety, and poorer quality of life. These factors can make them feel like their efforts to improve their body were in vain.
Patients can experience contour irregularities from a prior liposuction procedure that did not produce satisfactory results. (3) These can include lumps and bumps where they do not belong, skin pitting, and an asymmetrical appearance.
A revision of this nature may be required if a surgeon took out too much fat during the initial liposuction procedure. Dr. Albert can smooth out the area with additional liposuction to create a more natural contour or perform fat transfers in cases where too much fat has been removed. During a fat transfer, he harvests fat from a different area of the patient’s body, treats it, then reintroduces it into the area of concern to provide additional balance and tissue volume where necessary.
A botched tummy tuck can leave a patient with severe complications. One of the most common is the development of an infection before the body has healed adequately, which can lead to severe scarring. Another is when liposuction is used before the abdominoplasty procedure.
Performing liposuction on the area before a tummy tuck can deprive the area of its blood supply and is not recommended by most surgeons. Dr. Albert can use mesh to strengthen the abdomen during your Revision Abdominoplasty, and will skillfully address any aesthetic issues from your prior surgery.
The results of a breast augmentation do not always go as planned. There are various aesthetic issues that can arise. A primary surgery can cause too much scarring, implants can be inserted without removing the proper amount of breast tissue, and in some cases, the implants placed may be the wrong size.
For some patients, this is not only frustrating but also causes discomfort and worry. Restoring breast shape and a balanced bust are essential aspects of a Revision Breast Augmentation. Dr. Albert can address these cosmetic issues and achieve aesthetic improvements by removing or replacing implants, adding or removing fat deposits, and using subtle surgical techniques to improve the appearance of scarring.
A blepharoplasty addresses sagging skin in the eyelids. In many cases, patients choose to go to an ophthalmologist for a blepharoplasty. They usually do so because that way it’s covered by insurance. However, ophthalmologists are not plastic surgeons and don’t have aesthetic surgical training. This can lead to poor blepharoplasty outcomes, which can include asymmetry, vision deficits, and eyelid retraction. Dr. Albert can improve eye shape and correct poorly performed eyelid surgery with expert skill, restoring facial symmetry and eyelid functionality.
Rhinoplasties, or “nose jobs,” are considered one of the most difficult plastic surgeries to perform. As a result, they frequently require Revision Rhinoplasty. A poor rhinoplasty outcome may point to a cosmetic failure, where the nose doesn’t look as planned, or a functional failure, where airflow and breathing ability are compromised, or a combination of the two.
In some cases, patients may be dissatisfied with the shape of their nose once their primary rhinoplasty has healed fully. In other cases, too much cartilage is removed in the initial surgery, which can lead to structural weaknesses in the nose. A skilled surgeon can reshape the nose effectively without causing further damage. Dr. Albert performs cartilage grafts to add structure and shape to noses that were overly treated during the initial surgery.
Revision Facelifts and Neck Lifts are surgical procedures performed to improve the appearance of the face and neck after a previous facelift or necklift surgery. These procedures are typically more complex and require more expertise than initial facelifts or necklifts. There are several reasons why someone may require a revision facelift or necklift surgery. In some cases, the initial facelift or necklift may not have provided the desired results, and the patient may be unhappy with the outcome.
This could be due to a variety of factors, such as inadequate skin tightening, asymmetry, or scarring. Other reasons for revision facelift or necklift may include aging, weight fluctuations, or changes in the facial or neck structure over time. Additionally, some patients may choose to undergo a revision facelift or necklift simply because they wish to maintain or enhance the results of their initial surgery. Whatever the reason, Dr. Albert is highly skilled in Plastic Surgery Revisions and helps patients fall in love their results once again.
Depending on the procedure, the skill of the surgeon, and the patient, there is always the risk of excess scarring. Though it sometimes depends on skin type and treatment response, excessive scarring can be caused by poorly placed incisions and insufficient support during the recovery process. Such scenarios can be upsetting for patients as there are no at-home quick fixes for more severe scarring. Dr. Albert can reduce the appearance of unsightly scars that are causing distress. He carefully excises the scar tissue and then uses a sophisticated suturing technique to ensure that the incision heals with minimal visibility.

Reputable plastic surgeons want the best for their patients. They take pride in their qualifications, surgical skills, and accomplishments. They safely enable countless individuals to realize their aesthetic aspirations effectively. Organizations including “The American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the ISAPS consistently emphasize the importance of board certification in plastic surgery, as this assures patients that the surgeon has achieved rigorous training, examination, and professional standing.” (2) Knowing your surgeon is well-qualified to perform your Revision Plastic Surgery is the first step toward achieving cosmetic improvement.
Revision rhinoplasty is one of the most common secondary plastic surgeries. It is well-documented that rhinoplasty surgeries require the most skilled surgeons, but even then, outcomes often need adjustments and improvements. If you’re not satisfied with the results of a primary rhinoplasty, speak to an experienced plastic surgeon about your revision surgery options.
Plastic surgery is not always successful, and if you’re dissatisfied with your results, one of the main factors is time. You must wait until you are fully healed before assessing your results, and in the meantime, follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. If, after the recovery period, you are still unhappy with your results, you should schedule a consultation with a surgeon to discuss the possibility of a Revision Plastic Surgery procedure to address your concerns.
Plastic surgery revision requires an individualized treatment plan in every case. Because of this, the cost of your surgery will vary. To find out what your options are, please arrange a personal consultation.
