Why did I not drop a size after Liposuction? (photos)

Asked By:jackietoone in Oklahoma City, OK

Preop I was a size 8. I then got a full tummy tuck and lipo of the hips. I am now four months post op. My stomach is flatter but my hips and back never changed. I was expecting to at least drop one size. My "love handles" that he said he would remove are still there! When I asked my doctor he said you're skin gets thicker as it goes to your back. Is this just a copout because he didn't remove any fat? Something should have changed right?
