30yr old had smartlipo on my upper and lower abdomen 1yr and a half ago and have had this unflattering what I call cottage cheese effect like older person skin for the last 6-7 months. I have gained some of the weight back but still looks better than before surgery but just not as smooth as my normal skin looked pre surg. I am wondering if there is any way to make it look better. I have been using post partum lotion to try and firm the skin with little to no results. Any advice would be helpful.
