Horse bite and asymmetrical arm fat (Photo)

Asked By:Angelforever2 in Al Mazrowiah, Southern Governorate, Bahrain

Hi, I am a 36 year old female, and when I was 9 years old, I get bit by a horse on my right bicep, whereby the horse lifted me off the ground while biting my bicip. The bite mark was deep, and thankfully it faded away over the years, however, the bite area has more fat compared to the other arm, and it looks asymmetrical. I had to liposuctions on the area, and it would still return the same after a few months. What could have caused this extra fat build up in the bite spot? What are my options?
