What is the harm in redoing liposuction of multiple underdone areas sooner than 6 weeks?

Asked By:lipofirm in Shawnee Mission, KS

I had 600cc removed from the abs, flanks, back, pubic, inner thighs, and arms. I weigh 156 and am 5'4. My plastic surgeon is redoing the procedure on everything but the arms. We are doing this at just under 6 weeks post op. We saw VERY little result from the first surgery. I have zero swelling and very little soreness- I never did have swelling and only soreness for a few days. I'm guessing because so little was done during the first procedure. What's the harm in redoing it quickly?
