I had Lipo of my lower arms and it has been almost 2 months. I am still sore and still healing. My arm feels so tight and it hurts to massage it - is this normal?
Answer: Tight and numb after liposuction Totally normal but you NEED to massage. That will actually help them feel better, restore sensation more rapidly and help with the inflammation and the hardness and get rid of those ‘cords’ that you can see in the photo. All will resolve with time but you can speed recovery with massage.

Answer: Side effects after liposuction treatment Thanks for the inquiry and I appreciate your concern. It is not at all unusual to still feel the effects of a liposuction procedure for a few months after treatment. While the procedure is not overly invasive, it does leave behind some trauma to the treatment area, which will need time to heal completely. I encourage you to schedule a follow-up with the surgeon that performed the procedure for a full, in-person assessment to ensure you are not experiencing any unusual symptoms. However, the best remedy for these symptoms is the time needed to heal completely. Good luck to you!

Answer: Healing from liposuction Thank you for your question.Everyone heals at a different rate and healing from liposuction can take a while. The swelling always gets worse before it gets better, it can take 6 months sometimes longer for all the swelling to subside.

Answer: Swelling after liposuction Thank you for the question. After liposuction it can be expected to feel tightness and have some residual swelling that can last up to 6 months. At times there are areas that can feel harder and slightly tender; massaging the area can help. From the images, It appears that you have some residual swelling but are on the right track. If you are concerned you should follow-up with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Tightness and soreness two months after liposuction Your photos still demonstrate some swelling of the arms, which is entirely normal two months after liposuction. It generally takes at least 6 months for all of the swelling to disappear. If the pain and soreness is debilitating, lymphatic massage can be a useful adjunct to help the swelling go away faster.Hope this helps! Sam Jejurikar, MD
