1mo PO, managing expectations/

Tried to be realistic going into my TT and lipo as I was primarily getting rid of loose skin over my hips/pubic area after bariatric surgery. Very happy with my healing so far and how flat the front is. However, the sides/love handles hardly seem different from before. Can’t tell if I need to give it more time, adjust my expectations of what can realistically be fixed, or if I should’ve had something more done? I don’t have another follow up for 2.5 more weeks.

1st photo is today (1mo post op), 2nd photo is yesterday with relaxed muscles, Swimsuit photo is 1mo prior to surgery.
