injecting steroids can risk your skin and fat to atrophy and thin out. Discuss all the options and side effects of treatment with your surgeon. If the skin is loose, a tummy tuck or radiofrequency devices can help.

I suggest posting pictures and seeing an expert, this needs post-operative RF treatments and vanquish with cellutone.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Wicket222,a photo would provide a lot of information. You should know that liposuction won't help you with your cellulite. Liposuction only removes the fat tissue. If you have cellulite, then you might benefit from treatments such as Cellfina. I would recommend you to visit a plastic surgeon for a consultation.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Unfortunately if liposuction his done poorly there is few remedies.
This is especially true when people are over treated.
I don't think there's any hope for Kenalog injections to correct poorly done liposuction.
I don't know who your doctor was, how your procedure was done or what your results look like.
Is your doctor a board-certified plastic surgeon?
If not consider a second opinion from someone who is.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom M.D.

Sorry for your problem but without photos it is hard to give a recommendation other then to seek second opinions in person Dr Corbin
