Too Much Fat Removed from Saddle Bags? (photo)

I had liposuction in June 2012 via tumescent Lipo. I had my inner knees, upper inner thighs and saddlebags liposuctioned. My initial concern by Aug. was that my inner knees were not symmetrical. The surgeon said let's wait till January. If it still existed he wld correct it. At that same time I asked him about depressions where my saddle bags were. He said that is normal and his hips are the same. I did not pay for man thighs! I am very worried about trying to Make this look natural. What can I do?
