Is this just loose skin or do I need a revision? (Photo)

Sensible748696
I had lipo 360 and a tummy tuck done 18 months ago. I still have what feels like fat on my flanks. My doctor is refusing a revision. He first said it was swelling, then he said it was fat (I gained 7 lbs after surgery.) I lost the weight now he said it is loose skin and that there is no fat to remove. He said it would be another $15000 to remove this skin. For reference I am 5 ft and 107 lbs. I paid over $20000 for my full surgery. Is this just skin or do i nees a revision?
