Just Had Lipo. I Think Too Much Fat Was Removed from Hips and Thighs. Revision Fat Grafts and Pain? (photo)

I recently had liposuction of upper, lower abdomen, inner, outer thighs, side, back hips. During my first consultation I was 30 pounds heavier. During our second consultation the weight loss was not discussed, I think I had too many procedures or they were too aggressive for my frame. I'm wondering about revision possibilities. How long is safest to wait before doing a revision? Will I have enough fat? Is the complete numbness, pain and burning in the hip area normal?

     This would be hard to give an answer without an exam.   If there is a fat issue and not a skin or abdominal wall issue, liposuction may be appropriate.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year...
