Sorry to hear you're having problems. WIthout photos it's very hard to answer your question. I would recommend you discuss this with your surgeon. If he or she won't help, then consider a second opinion. Be sure it's a surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has experience with lower body lifts.
