Liposuction Revision... - Las Vegas

I had liposuction on my lower abs and flanks after having two kids. I'm 27 years old and worked out 5 xs a week but couldnt stand my love handles! They just would not go away so I had the procedure done April 2010 and what a HUGE difference. Not too bad with pain, swelling on myself lasted forever even to the day of my revision because I did not leak the fluids for too long after the procedure. Anyhow, I WAS happy my results until I noticed an indentation on my lower right back side. I also had some fluid retention or swelling on the top of my butt cheeks for some reason even though that part was not lipo. So I waited te 6months until my revision and I am exactly 1 week out after my revision...I REGRET THIS!! I just wanted the indentation fixed so the doc grafted fat into that area however seems like he missed the hole and injected the fat above it and now I still have the hole, even more visible and another above it with a ball of fat in between (what he injected). It looks terrible! I look deformed.
keep in mind that my doc is actually a good doctor but apparently just not for revisions. So he saw me today a week after the revision, and says there is no way he grafted the fat to the wrong area but there can always be a possibility that the fat migrated slightly above the hole. BS! I thought. Anyhow, he said I have to wait and be patient until most of the swelling goes down. if i look like this right now I dont even want to imagine what i'll look like in 3 months or so. I'm very disappointed and feel I should've never had the revision done. I will not do this again (revision) if I stay with indentations...I just cant anymore. I'm too afraid of another mess up and tired of wearing this darn garmet.
NOTE: I massaged throughout the whole 6 months prior to revision and now again after the revision. I'm just lucky my abs turned out good....

Hi 7000xo -- I'm so sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your surgery. I know you're (understandably) hesitant to do another revision, but have you had any second opinions from other docs? Maybe it's an easy fix...? *she says hopefully*
