How long after lipo can you get more? Not seeing the results I hoped for.

TryingToGetSnatched82
I'm 4 months post op and still have rolls. I thought I would be 80% by the summer but I still can't sit down without rolls bulging. My doctor continues to tell me to be patient and that lipo takes up to 12 months to heal. I have no kids. I had close to 4 liters removed of the upper and lower back, flanks and abdomen. I still wear my compression 24/7. Other pics I see people are small within 8weeks. Why is my procedure taking so long? When will I see results? When I can I get more taken out?
