Asked By:pmerkle in Newberg, OR

I had a tummy tuck 4 months ago with lipo of the flanks and thighs. My first tummy tuck 17 years ago looked great. The second most recent tons of cellulite and protruding belly. Every day I look in the mirror I'm Angry an everyone who sees my tummy is grossed out. My surgeon said I would look better after the swelling from the lipo went down then laughed a few weeks later and said the cottage cheese appearance on my stomach is just what I is. Please advise !! It's much worse looking in person
