How long do I wait before getting lipo revision done? I'm 6 months post op.

June 1, 2017
Asked By:sueready in Akron, OH

I got liposuction done to my legs, tummy and hips in Dec 2016. It's been 6 months and I have healed well except few areas still feel numb and bumpy. My doc has definitely not done a great job since I see a lot of bumps on my tummy and thighs. When I stumbled upon this site, I saw that my doc was rated very poorly by other patients as well. Now I would like to get this done right and would like to know what would be the recommended wait time between surgeries. Please suggest.
