My surgeon doesn't want to go too flat on my stomach because he's afraid the skin might not bounce back as well. He examined my muscles and stated that they were still close. I was about 30 pounds lighter last year and my stomach looked amazing considering. Is it fair to assume if I went almost flat with the liposuction my skin would do the same as when I was thinner? I'm pretty conflicted. He says it might sag, but I know I want it to be flat. Other opinions would be nice. Thanks!

What you had was fluid that was left over or got trapped and found its way out weeks after surgery. You want to go see your plastic surgeon, instead of GP, to make sure all the fluid is out. Don't worry about infection.
It's a good question and understand your frustration. However you are still very early after your procedure. Swelling after liposuction can last 3-6 months. You will not be able to judge your final result for 6-9 months. I would discourage you from considering a revision procedure at this time. ...
