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?

Answer: Liposuction results Dear sjane2014,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a liposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Questions After Arm Lift Surgery Hello! Thank you for your question. It has only been 3 weeks since your surgery. Your arms are still swollen, and your body is still healing. What you're seeing now is normal. It will take several more months before the swelling has resolved and you can see your final result. However, if you are concerned, you should stay in regular/frequent contact with your plastic surgeon. I hope this answers your question. Best of luck!
