Hello doctors, I just had arm liposuction a few days ago and was wondering if removal of 325cc of fat from each arm is a good amount? I am [pretty] fit; work out 2-3 days/week, eat well; 5'7 150 lb. I know I am only a few days out, and final results can take months; however I'm not sure if this was enough. I think the surgeon hesitated a little because I had moments of pretty bad/stinging pain, but now I wish I just sucked it up. Would love to hear your professional opinion. Thanks so much!
