Did my surgeon leave too much fat around my waist? (photos)

I had a tummy tuck and went back for liposuction. The surgeon however left what I think is too much fat around my waist (about .5 to an inch of pinchable fat). When I asked the doctor about it, she said I was too skinny to be a candidate for a second round of lipo and it looked fine. I know she's being conservative to prevent contour irregularities but I've never been able to lose naturally even when very underweight.
