Bad liposuction or slow recovery? 3 months later and I have excess fat on my back. (photos)

S.E143
I had lipusction done on 3 months ago. I got lymphatic/ultra sound massages, wore my abdominal board & garment every day, as told to do so by my doctor. Like I said, it is now 3 months later & I have excess fat on my back and hard lumps on my stomach. I paid for 12 areas: Stomach, back, and flanks & only 1 liter of fat was taken out. I am 4'9 and weighed 140. I was just wondering if I'm just having a slow recovery, or there is a visual issue going on and not enough fat was removed.
