Unhappy with my P/S ? Help Please!

Hello! I had my Abdominoplasty/ Panniculectomy one week ago yesterday with a 30# pannus removal. I had the inverted anchor incision. My problem is my right side is perfect, the left side is noticably more fatty, and it overhangs, putting my staples & incision in a crease making it very difficult to keep clean and dry. I understand it takes a few weeks to months to see the final results, but this is a very noticable difference in the sides. The surgeon told my wife right after surgery that I may need a revision in about 6 months, but why was it done this way to begin with? I have Medicare/ Medicaid and don't know if they will even pay for a revision. I am very happy with not having the pannus anymore, but I've worked so hard for this, it's just heartbreaking to see. Anyone else had anything like this happen? Thank You, Brandy -300# in a year
