So, I gained and am losing but also wondering if this is a lost cause. My upper arms are very lumpy (were before weight gain) the lipo was done too harshly in some spots and not evenly. They wouldn't cut into my forearm and now the entire arm looks misshapen. Frankly, they're disgusting. It's so depressing. I don't mind scars. I'm fine with them.
