I'm 9 weeks post op body lift, and my legs look like they did before surgery. What can be done?

M42
I had a body lift 9 weeks ago and after the third week my legs started to go back to the way they looked before surgery. Why did they relax so much? Was there anything that could have been done to prevent them from relaxing back to the way they were? My doctor tells me they could be swallon and to wait it out. I know i did picked one of the best doctors for the surgery and that is what makes it even more upsetting. Thank you in advance for your advise.
