I had lipo done about a year ago. I only wanted my flanks done, but the doctor ended up doing, without my approval, my abdominal so that my tummy can look like it has "abs" and I hate it! Is there anything I can to fix this mistake! I used to have a nice, flat stomach and I used to be curvy, but now I look like bones. I hate looking at myself naked because I feel like I have a boyish figure now. Also, will fat ever grow back there? Please, any advise will be helpful!
