Asked By:NeedArevision in Miami, FL

I had lipo 21 weeks ago with a bbl. my stomach is uneven, rippling/waves @ dents secluded to my left side. What could have caused this? I researched for a year, & traveled across the country to one of the top Drs for lipo with bbl. I complained that my garment didn't fit right, and showed them at my post op appt. Did the garment cause this? I am in contact with my doctor and he agrees a revision is needed, but I'd like a second opinion on what could have caused it, and if it's fixable. Thanks
