I was left with a huge dip in the middle of my arm and too much fat on my elbow after my arm lift. My right arm is fine but the left one was botched. He also left a couple of dog ears. Can my elbow be lipoed so it won’t look so fat and how can the dip in the middle of my arm be fixed? I wanted to know if there are any surgeons in Georgia that can fix this and the price range. I do not want to go through another arm lift. I’m so depressed over this and hiding my arms even more.
