Answer: Extreme Swelling 10 Days after Liposuction
Seromas do not cause bruising. You might have some residual blood in the tissues that is breaking down and spreading throughout the lympahtic system of the skin. Hardening in the areas is normal as the fluid has swelled the local tissue, and should resolve over the next several weeks...
Liposuction will only remove fat not muscle. LIposuction will not reduce the size of your arms due to muscle mass. Backing off on training will allow some of the muscle mass to resolve if you are an avid trainer.
