I Think my Doctor Missed a Spot

After liposuction not all areas will be sore and bruised, and the result should be judged on the contour, not only on the ability to pinch remaining fat in any particular area. Wait a full six months and if the contour is good enjoy your result. If a spot has indeed been overlooked you should see your surgeon about a touch-up if needed.

7 days after liposuction is no time to see the final results.  I tell my patients that there will be swelling for several months and the swelling gets worse after 2 weeks until after a month.  Only then the results will start looking more like the final product but never before at least 3 months.  Now, judging by your photos, you look like someone who has lost a lot of weight and your problem is not so much fat but a large amount of loose skin.  Generally when the problem is redundant skin the only solution is to remove it with excissional surgery such as a tummy tuck or a body lift.  Patients who had massive weight loss appear to have fat within the loose skin but when liposuction is attempted no fat can be extracted because there is no fat left.  I've been there many times.  Extracting fat from massive weight loss patients is nearly impossible and very frustrating.  I have the feeling your doctor was not aware of this and thought you were a piece of cake, "no sweat! I can get that fat out in no time".

I treat a lot of patients who have lost 40, 80 plus Lbs. after gastric bypass or just by dieting and excercising.  Excissional surgery is always indicated (tummy tuck, body lift, arm lifts, etc.) I still use liposuction for contouring but the residual fatty tissue is so fibrous that the fat cannot be removed easily or at all with lipo.

I hope this answers your question
