Please return to your surgeon to discuss your results. You should have some improvement if enough fat was removed, although if there is a lot of excess skin then liposuction may not have been the right treatment for you in the first place. A tummy tuck may have been more suitable.

Carmen Kavali, MD · Answer

Not final results, but at least some results. I wouldn't expect your results to improve much after this point. Perhaps your plastic surgeon (if he/she was indeed a plastic surgeon and not some other kind of doctor who took a liposuction weekend course!) wasn't aggressive enough in the approach. Do discuss your concerns with him or her.
