14 months after lipo and I still have this discoloration will it ever go away? (worse when skin is cold)

July 11, 2019

I was told “it’s just shading” didn’t believe her then and still don’t. Not only do I have to live with this now, I was told after a certain period of time your family and friends will be able to tell you look skinnier(never happened). I truly believe my doctor didn’t remove much fat(she claimed 2.5 liters between thighs and stomach) and to makes matters worse I don’t remember my surgery or the next day because I was given way too strong of medication. Any advice?
