8 months post-op- I'm not satisfied with my liposculpture results. What should I do? (Photos)

In September 2021 I had liposculpture in a couple of areas around the midriff (love handles, upper stomach and lower stomach). At first I thought maybe my swelling just lingered for a bit more than usual, so I made a checkup appointment with my surgeon, who told me that everything looked okay. It's been 8 months since the procedure, and I feel like I still have a lot of fat around my midriff, giving me a hourglass silhouette. I'm a man, so that's less than ideal. What do I do?
