Liposuction Revision & Cellulite Reduction
Unsatisfactory results from previous liposuction can be disheartening, but Hughes Plastic Surgery offers advanced liposuction revision and cellulite reduction in Beverly Hills. Dr. Kenneth Hughes uses his expertise and personalized care to smooth contours, enhance skin texture, and achieve exceptional outcomes.What is liposuction revision?
Liposuction revision is a specialized procedure to correct irregularities, asymmetry, and residual fat from previous surgeries. These procedures often require greater skill due to the challenges posed by scar tissue, deformities, and complications from the initial surgery.
Liposuction can be a successful procedure with a well-trained, expert surgeon. However, less experienced practitioners and non-plastic surgeons have joined the field. As a result, liposuction revision has become a much more prominent surgery in Dr. Hughes’s practice. He has built a reputation for his expertise in the procedure, Bodytite, and fat grafting.
Liposuction revisions are complicated and should only be attempted by experts in the field. Patients should have realistic expectations. 70% to 80% improvement is about as maximal as possible. Even if the surgery creates a perfect contour, healing is rarely ideal, and residual scar tissue can limit results. For some patients, a skin removal procedure like a tummy, mini-tummy tuck, or mommy makeover may yield the best possible outcome.
Dr. Hughes performs two to three lipo revision operations each week. Many of these involve additional liposuction and fat grafting to improve the contours or deformities from the previous surgery. In addition, Dr. Hughes has used Bodytite hundreds of times to improve the results, reduce skin laxity, and improve unevenness.

- Only a highly skilled surgeon, such as Dr. Hughes, can navigate these challenges effectively.

Understanding Cellulite Reduction
Smoothing Skin for a Confident Appearance
Cellulite reduction targets the dimpled, uneven texture caused by fat deposits beneath the skin. At Hughes Plastic Surgery, advanced technologies like BodyTite are used to firm and smooth the skin, complementing lipo revision for optimal results. Dr. Hughes also created a specialized procedure for cellulite reduction for dent removal and correction. He often used this technique to improve cellulite and denting in the buttocks and thighs.
Benefits of Cellulite Reduction
- Minimizes the appearance of cellulite
- Enhances skin texture and elasticity
- Improves overall body contour
