I am not an expert, you and Dr. Vath are in your case. Having said that I offer my opinion to help you think this through. I find the pictures inconclusive but seeming to lean toward not much difference in the before and after pictures, particularly in the side to posterior hip areas. The very areas you grip when you express your concern over no change. What complicates this observation for all of us is possible swelling and any weight variations during this post op period.

Hopefully there are good records of your weight at various intervals to disprove that as any cause for missed liposuction material. Also there would have to be good, proven methods to calculate weight based on amount of swelling, implants, loss of skin and fat, etc. or this whole line of thinking must be abandoned. Thought: unless measurements have been found to be useful?

It's been my understanding that Dr. Vath guarantees his work in your contract and will redo what must be done. That means he must repeat the liposuction on your hips where it appears to not have been done per your contract and also simply because of his integrity. So approach him with confidence that this part of the work does not appear to have worked out as expected and you need and want him to see that it is rescheduled so that it gets done to your satisfaction. Make sure you express your happiness/excitement with the other work that has been done so beautifully. Give credit where it's due. Express your excitement and anticipation of how awesome your thighs will look when done. Be sure to thank him ahead of time. Now!! ; D

To be honest you look great still, I'm sure it'd be frustrating to expect something and feel like you didn't get it, I saw your last update and thought you looked great then too, is it just now that you've noticed it ?

Can you update your pics, maybe your just swelling at night still? You think? I've heard lipo is very temporary whenever fat is gained again it goes back into those areas
