resculpt

Rework the form

To resculpt is to sculpt again—reshaping something that was already formed.

The word applies literally to physical materials: The artist resculpted the clay figure after it cracked.

More often it describes deliberate reshaping of bodies through surgery or exercise: She resculpted her physique over months of training.

The prefix signals intentional revision rather than starting fresh.
