Should I Get a Touch Up Procedure and What Are Possible Risks/complications? (photo)

I had tumescent lipo 9 months ago. My stomach looks uneven. it seems that the doc missed a large portion on the left side, and it just looks weird. Is this kind of uneveness common, and could this be corrected easily? there is a little scarred tissue on the right. For my last post-op check up i only saw the PA and he kept saying that the results looked great.. Obiviously they dont. would a touch up easily fix this? or would it be too risky? Any and all information/advice is greatly appreciated!
