Thighs Uneven and Lumpy After Lipo/Mommy Makeover - Can This Be Fixed?

Hi, I had a Mommy Makeover 9 months ago. This included lipo on my inner and outer thighs. Immediately after surgery, it appeared that I had too much fat removed from my thighs. After 3 months, my doctor stated as much. It's now 9 months later, and I want to hide my thighs. They are bumpy and uneven and look worse than before I had the lipo. Can my legs be fixed?
