I lost 168 lbs with diet and exercise. 3 years ago I had abdominoplasty and it looked great for 9 months. After removing the compression garment my upper stomach started ballooning out. However, the lower stomach is great but under the breast it looks like a basketball. What is causing it?

Next, had brachioplasty 2 yrs ago with continue pain, swelling and general arm weakness daily
