Asked By:sjane2014 in Antioch, IL

Is this normal after arm lipo? I am 3 weeks post op arm lipo. Im noticing this weird rippling/indenting on my arms. Both are about in the same spots. I spoke to my surgeon who blamed it on the garment bunching but it doesn’t at all. He said to massage it. I’m currently living states away and can’t do an in office visit. Is this normal and what can I do for it?
