After the code is returned to the tester post-fix, regression testing is performed to verify the functionality that caused the bug. Along with testing that particular functionality, you also test the application to ensure that implementing the fixes did not give rise to new bugs.

After a bug fix, the tester has to do the REGRESSION testing, for the bug fixed.
Also the tester has to verify or visit around the functionality for the new bug. 
Bug fixing also affects the functionality.

To Verify the Bug Fix Re-Testing is done. And to check the fix has not caused any new bugs Regression Testing is done.

n.sudha is correct. first we'll go for Re-testing to check whether the particular bug is fixed then we'll go for Regression testing to check the functionality of the rest of the product.

First to check if the reported bug was actually fixed i.e. "Re-Testing" which inclucdes, reproducing the scenario & the bug & verify/reopen the bug according to the the fix.

After this "Regression Testing"  is done  to verify/chaeck if the above bug fix has not affected any other unchanged areas of the code.
