21, F, should I ask for revision? Thoughts on results? (Photos)

Question

I am a 21(f) who got liposuction earlier this year. I had some stubborn stomach fat I had always been self conscious about, but I am a college athlete so knew it wasn’t just there because I’m lazy. My surgeon said he’d do lower stomach and flanks. I truly do see a difference but am unsure if my expectations were too high. It’s been almost 4 months. Should I ask for a revision? Are my results the best it’s going to get or should I go back? First 2 pic is before. Would revision equal more contour?

So far it looks like you have good results from your surgery.  It can take up to six months to see your final results.  If after that time you would like further liposuction you can return to your surgeon for an evaluation.

Dear yellowsunflower25,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You appear to have gotten good results in the areas treated. You might want to add your upper abdomen. An examination is needed to see if residual fat is internal and not treatable by liposuction, or external to your muscle. go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.  Also, make sure to check your weight to see if you have gained or lost since surgery.

Best to virtual consult with.. I think aggressive lipo sculpture is needed. Fee $6,000. Your posted photos help but many questions still left to answer.

Dear yellow,
Your liposuction results look great so far.  It will take at least 6 months to see your final results, so don't lose patience.  At that time your surgeon will likely take measurements and photos to demonstrate the improved new you.  Good luck!
