I had my arms lipoed and transferred to my hip dips.. he transferred the fat too high so my dips are more prominent but told my that he didn’t that I was always like that and the fat he transferred probably reabsorbed. now at 6 weeks my arms are still hurting to touch and I’m discolored and bumpy. Did I make the worst mistake of my life and go to the wrong doctor or is this normal?

Answer: Pain after surgery Dear canchondo,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Is it normal to be still in pain and discolored at 6 weeks post op? Did I go to the wrong doctor? Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation and discomfort are very normal. If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)
