Did abdominal liposuction not work on me? (Photo)

Asked By:kayydcee

Upper and lower abdomen liposuction 13 days ago. Result looks ok when laying down and in garment, but when taken off at sat up looks like no lipo was done and looks like I have a spare tire. Is this from not enough fat taken, swelling or excess skin and tummy tuck should have been done instead? I asked this specifically before surgery and was told I had good skin laxity and shouldn’t worry. I have worn my garment religiously exactly as instructed. What can be done to remedy this?
