3+ month update and revision
Today was my 3 month appointment with my PS, I always feel that as much as I prepare for questions all of them come after the appointment is over...
I shared with him my concerns about the bulge below my BB, I can't see my scar when I stand and look down, also I told him about the scar asymmetry and puckering on the left side and how I still have rolls coming out of my pants when I sit down; he thinks that I still have edema, but wants to do liposuction and scar revision on the left side... I've asked him what are the chances of getting lose skin after the lipo and he said it should be fine, he also took some pictures of me sitting down and it was like a aha moment and could understand what I was talking about...
He wanted me to schedule for mid December, but said that he usually doesn't do revisions so soon, I told him I'm not in a hurry and I could wait until mid-end January, so he'll be calling me in two weeks to confirm what I need to get done; I've done my surgery trough a teaching program and he needs to consult with the attending PS.
He said is will be an in office procedure, but when we discussed the top rolls towards my back he said I might need to be sleep... I wish I've asked him if I would have to pay for that, but I guess I'll do that when he calls me.
He really wants to make me happy and I feel so bad that the results are not what I expected, but I paid a lot of money and I should not settle just because it looks much better; he apologized and I felt so bad...
Any feedback/advise about lipo revision ? I'll post pictures in a few days, but nothing has changed from my latest pictures.
Thank you.

I'm still not sure about my results...
I know this is a long road and that patience is the number one companion; but as I enter 14 weeks since my TT tomorrow I'm not sure how I feel about my results... It's hard to know if the lack of flatness is due to swelling or residual fat, I have an appointment with my PS next week and I will share my concerns with him. I defiantly want to fix the contour asymmetry and get answers about the bulge/swelling below my BB.
This pictures were taken this morning as soon as I got out of bed, so as you can see it's already very bumpy... at 3 months PO i was hoping to look better, some swelling is expected but right now is just hard for me to believe that my tummy will get completely flat...If it is not swelling and I need a revision I'm not sure what direction my PS will like to go, lipo or more skin removal, I definitely can pinch skin when I'm sitting in a relax position and when I'm standing at the end of my incision, one side I can pinch way more than the other...
I'f I wear something formfitting I need to suck my tummy, it makes me feel like I did all this for nothing, what's the point if now I still have to suck it in...

I want to cry...
I don't know if I'm not being realistic or what, but I see pictures of ladies even a little heavier than me and they look better at 8 weeks than me; I know that everyone heals differently, but at this point I'm just really unhappy... I can't tell if it's swelling, I look like this event in the morning.
My PS told me I was going to have fantastic results and he kept telling me how petite I am and that it wasn't too bad...
Don't get me wrong, I know I look better than before, I know that I should expect swelling, but being that I work from home and I barely do physical and wear my CG 24/7 I was expecting for my stomach to start looking flatter and not puffier/bigger.
I don't see my PS until about a month, I don't want to call him and seem panicked (which I am) but rather, continue to wait and see...
I've waited for this for so long... :(
