12 months post-liposuction but major contour irregularities. Is this permanent? Are there any worthwhile revision options?

mandy125
I had laser liposuction of my abdomen/hips 12 months ago. I have been left with massive contour irregularities on my abdomen. My surgeon (who is fully accredited) told me this is "induration" and that it will resolve itself "within 1 to 2 years" but that massage will also help. I have therefore spent a fortune on massage but to no avail. Today I sought a second opinion. This second surgeon said too much fat has been removed from my abdomen and that options for correcting this are very limited.
