Why would my plastic surgeon leave my muffin top like this? Is this just swelling? (photos)

I had a full TT with lipo to my hips & flanks 12/4/12. I have been very happy with my tummy but was left with a horrible muffin top. When I told my PS I was unhappy he told me it was residual swelling and would go away. At my 1 yr check up I asked him what happened to my flanks, that they still look horrible. His explanation was that when doing a TT it is hard to roll a person over to do lipo in that area. Is his response accurate? Why wouldn't he lipo first if that was the case?
