I had a mastectomy and lymph node removal in 2016, can I get liposuction as my arms have already been too large?

Asked By:psychenurse in Brighton, CO

My mom had large upper arms and she didn't seem to mind them but I inherited them and have a hard time fitting jackets or dresses with sleeves. I do exercise my arms and the biceps are tight but even with triceps exercises, they remain floppy.
