Asked By:NMarie611 in Connecticut, CT

Hello, I'm female, 35 years old, 5'6", 128 lbs.Had tumescent arm lipo by a double board certified PS to fix a contour deformity after a botched mole removal performed by another PS. I am now 4 wks post op and as the swelling has gone down,I have this horrible rippling and tightness.Was told I was a good candidate. Not much was removed (approx 175 ccs)I have good skin elasticity.I have a 5 week post op appt coming up to discuss.Is this normal and what are the chances of it resolving on it's own?
