Asked By:Lyzzamae in Carlsbad, CA

I am 2 months post op, visited my doctor multiple times due to seroma which has now resorbed. My arms look disgusting and i cant even wear sleeveless. Will this get better or am i supposed to see expected result at 2 months. My doctor said that final result is not evident until 12 months. What is the general rule for revision? What should i do if by 12 months i still have irregularities? With the money i spent, i feel like i dont deserve this. Totally unhappy with the result. disgusting result!
