I've just had liposuction on my abdomen, outer and inner thighs. When I asked the surgeon said he was only able to remove 700 ml of fat in total from all areas as the fat was too hard to remove from the stomach area. I was 165 lbs n 5'5''.

Why would the fat be too hard to remove-be said I was a good candidate for the procedure! Photos are pre-surgery.
