I am 11 weeks post body lift, I seem to have excessive amounts of skin on my flanks and hips and there is a divot on my left hip noticeable in and out of clothes , this makes my saddlebags even more pronounced. My mon's just looks huge despite the fact I was told it was lipo'd. Seems fleshy almost waterbag like at times. Are these my final results or can I expect changes yet? Are these things going to get worse and the numbness goes away and the skin relaxes more? Am I look at revisions?
