Hi, I had VASER lipo done on the triceps area almost 4 weeks ago. Recovery seems okay but I noticed that my range of motion is more limited and I have several fairly deep striations on the back of my arms. For example, when I move my arms to do an action similar to the triceps stretch (hand/forearm behind head), the skin over the triceps is very tight so I can't complete the action, and 15cm long, 5mm deep striations criss-crossed on the skin come into relief. Should I be worried?
