Tight hard feeling after ARM Liposuction.

Normal, normal, and normal. This all gos away. I usually tell patients to forget the garment after one week. The garments never fit very well anyway and I feel are unnecessary. If the surgery is proper, the garment only holds down the swelling for the first week or less. The tight , stringy, feeling is normal and goes in abour 4 months. Stretching is fine. Work you hand progressively up the wall to stretch. Massage helps... more
