Not Enough Fat Removed After Liposuction?

June 14, 2009
Asked By:morena in boston, massachusetts

I had an abdominal Liposuction on June 12th, 2009 to correct a muffin top that resulted from a myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids last year. My stomach ballooned out over a c-section type scar, and I wanted to flatten that area. The day after my Lipo surgery, I took my garmet off to shower and saw almost no change, not to mention that right above the scar where I wanted my stomach to be flattened the most still buldges out. Now, its very hard and sore. Does this mean that not enough fat was taken out?
