Hello, About 10 years ago I had lipo done on my neck and chin. A few years back I started getting pinched nerves that affected my arms and hands. It was discovered that I have scar tissue on the forward side of my cervical spine. I have always wondered if this could somehow be related to the lipo I had done years before.
