Are my uneven Vaser results (3.5 liters) due to swelling/bad technique?

ravenonFeb 10, 2019
Hello. Male. 42. 55 days since my surgery. Still very swollen. I’m happy with my results, when dressed. Results looked amazing over the first weeks but now I can see how results are worsening...1) Love handles still there. He says due to: a) too high hipbone or b) insufficient fat removal due to sudden stretch marks shown during procedure... ( his words) 2) I can see a fat of pocket significantly bigger in the right upper ab. Irregularities. Swelling? Bad technique? Thank you!

It is hard to assess this photo with your dress on. It seems a little uneven. A simple touch up could and should correct it, that doesn't take much time. See that provider, look at the photos and decide. After 4 months your results should just about be final. Hope this is helpful. JB
