I had traumatic and overly aggressive VASER liposuction performed on my upper arms, resulting in a large haematoma on one side and a seroma on the other, presumably from thermal injury. These were treated with serial aspirations. Is the resultant discolouration: a) haemosiderin staining, b) post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, c) erythema ab lipoaspiration or d) livedo reticularis (I am ANA positive and have had drug-induced SLE in the past but no LR). What treatment, if any, would benefit me?
