I got liposuction of the arms on Wednesday 1/18 (2 days ago). Ive been experiencing quite a bit of pain and was told to take advil. I am wearing my compression garment full time. I don’t see much difference in my arms although he took out 1,000 cc of fat in total. My left arm i can almost fully raise but I am unable to reach my hair with it. My right arm I can barely raise. Can’t feed myself with it. I am very worried about this. I spoke to my surgeon who said it's normal. Is it?
