Can my tummy be revised 8 months post tummy tuck? (Photo)

BebecasMar 5, 2019
post op appointment after TT I noticed lots of flabby skin & fat around tummy that my Dr did not remove after saying he will. He did very little lipo God knows where? He said he was going to place the navel above the stretch marks that way my existing ones will be lower & skin tight. Didn’t do that too. Now I'm left with thick love handles lopsided. skin which I can still grab easily still look pregnant and doubt the MR was tight. He deviated from the plan of surgery. Can i fix this?
