When Can I See Mons Pubis Lipo and Lift Results?

Cherly
About 2 months ago, I had liposuction and lift of the mons pubis area. I am very unhappy with my results. I still have a large amount of fat, and it's still visible from side and front view. It has made me even more self-conscious because I felt this would be a life changing experience. My plastic surgeon has told me it could take a year to see the results. Yet on his website, on a before and after photo of the same procedure after 3 months, the patient looked great and you could no longer see it "puffing" from the front or side view. How often is it that it could take a year for the final results? I tried to contact him, and he never returned my call, and my next appointment with him isn't for another month.I am feeling very down about this and don't know what went wrong. I did a lot of research on this surgeon and felt he was perfect, I even drove 3 states away to go to him, and I feel like it was a waste of time. Should I wait a full year or just see someone else to have liposuction done? This is something I can no longer live with, I just want to feel normal and wear whatever clothes I'd like to.
