What's the average percentage of fat that can be removed with Smart Lipo? Do I need a redo? Not satisfied with fat rolls (Photo)

LisaKK
I had smart lipo done a week ago on my upper arms, bra roll, lower back, flanks/muffin top, upper abs, and lower abs, and only 1.5 liters of fluid/fat was suctioned out with less than half of that actual fat. I realize I still have swelling and that will go down over time; however, I feel like there is still a lot of fat rolls on my back/flanks and am afraid those will not go away after a few mo. Will my FAT ROLLS get much better than this? What is normally the % of fat that can be removed?
