The slight prominence of the Mons area is easily treated with liposuction. This can be done with local anesthesia alone. I personally don't have any significant restrictions on the patient's postoperatively. Obviously the area will be sore for a week or so

One liter is equivalent to one kilogram which is equal to 2.2 pounds.  However, liposuction aspirate volume does not convert directly to pounds.  This is because liposuction aspirate is not purely fat.  At best its 90% fat and it can be as low as 50% fat.  The rest is made up...

You are still only 5 months out from your procedure, so you're not fully "done" healing yet.  Also, you have a lot of loose skin on your waist and lower back.  The skin is likely the real problem here.
