Outer Thigh Liposuction - Disappointment

I had tumescent liposuction done on my outer thighs about five months ago to get rid of my stubborn saddlebags. I was very anxious, but the procedure itself was surprisingly not that bad. I was under conscious sedation and local anesthesia and hardly remember a thing.

However, sadly my results aren't what I had hoped they'd be. They don't look too different from where I started. I saw a board certified plastic surgeon with extremely good reviews, so I don't think it was an issue with the surgery itself, but maybe the healing process.

There are these little pockets where my saddlebags were. They're very smushy - I'm not sure if it's residual swelling or a seroma. It does seem like fluid of some sort, but I really can't tell.

I've had three lymphatic massages done so far and they helped a tiny bit, but nothing significant. I wore my compression garment when I was told to and I still wear it on and off now five months later. I addressed this at an appointment last week and she said it could be swelling, but if it looks like that in another month or two we can try a different treatment.

I'm hopeful the pockets will go away, but I'm just worried I wasted money. In a way it looks even worse because the saddlebags before were more firm and these pockets give more of a cellulite appearance.

Has anyone else had results like this that cleared up after 6+ months or should I look into revision surgery?
