I got Smart Lipo on my upper arms... should there be a lot of swelling in the lower arm and hand?

This swelling is extrememly common. You should be wearing a garment on the upper arms, but usually an ace bandage from the hands up in the first 3 days is sufficient to alleviate this problem. Please show it to your doctor to get advice at this point in time.
