Only the doctor who performed your Lipo can say for sure

Andrew Y. Kleinman, MD answers: Fixing contour irregularities after Liposuction?

Are noticeable contour irregularities that need to be addressed usually covered by the doctor that performed the original procedure? I don't feel I should have to pay any more money to fix a bulge on my stomach (one side and not the other) that is very obvious an area that wasn't suctioned properly.

It is not uncommon to have a certain amount of irregularities post liposuction. Some of the irregularities are related to swelling and some are not. Some times it  is a bulge not related to fat. Also, in my experience it depends on whether you wear a compression garment or not.

The only person who really can give you an answer is for the surgeon who provided you with this surgery. He/she needs to examine you and discuss with you what the options are.

Good Luck, and hope this helps!
