I had liposuction of my upper & lower abs, sides, back, with a mini tummy tuck, & a fat transfer to buttocks 32 days ago & it doesn't appear I had surgery at all aside for the pain, swelling and a tummy incision that looks to be improperly sutured I look the same as I did before the surgery. Shouldn't my abdominal area be flat by now? My abdomen is still fat... I see no difference in my body structure. What should I do? Also, my incision is hard and looks buckled. How can that be fixed?

This area of concern needs to be addressed by your surgeon. While contour irregularities can occur, this is not typical and warrants further assessment by your surgeon. The correction will depend on the cause of the lump.
The numbness will not be improved, even with more surgery. I am sure your surgeon discussed this initially with you. The permanent sutures could be removed, but your tissue has healed and it may not loosen. You could try first gaining some weight to stretch things and then loose weight.
