With just a quick search on the internet, you can find pictures of poorly performed plastic surgeries with unsightly results. These results may be due to an untrained surgeon, a surgeon who does not specialize in cosmetic plastic surgery, or complications that arise during healing, which are out of the surgeon’s control.
Houston plastic surgeon Dr. R. Lee Steely of Steely Plastic Surgery has performed revision plastic surgery on many patients who had their original procedures performed by different surgeons and were unhappy with their results. Dr. Steely uses a variety of techniques to get the look you were trying to get the first time, if not better.
Common Reasons for Revision Plastic Surgery
Revision plastic surgery is performed to resolve issues with the results of plastic surgery for the face, breasts, or body. In many cases, revision surgery is needed when the results of the original procedure do not align with the patient’s aesthetic goals. Dr. Steely often performs revision surgery to correct poor results provided by other plastic surgeons.
In other cases, revision plastic surgery is necessary to address complications that may have occurred post-surgery, such as capsular contracture following breast augmentation with implants. Revision surgery can also be performed to “touch-up” the results of a prior surgery that may have changed over time due to aging and other factors.

Choosing the Right Plastic Surgeon
Ideally, you will not need to undergo revision plastic surgery due to poor results from your surgeon. To ensure you are getting the best care possible, make sure the provider you choose is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Plastic surgeons must complete extensive training and testing requirements to become board-certified and must uphold rigorous standards for patient safety.
Dr. Steely is dual board-certified and specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, which is why so many patients seek him out to perform their revision procedures.
